FxWirePro: EUR/USD dips below lower range, bearish bias increases
Friday, June 9, 2017 2:47 PM UTC
- The EUR /USD pair declined on Friday as British elections failed to deliver a clear majority for Prime Minister Theresa May, dragging euro lower and helping lift the dollar index.
- The election has left the United Kingdom with a hung parliament as the ruling Conservative Party lost its majority while still emerging as the largest party, in a result that has cast doubt over Prime Minister Theresa May's leadership and over the course of Brexit talks due to start in just 10 days.
- The euro extended overnight losses and was 0.3 percent lower at $1.1181, off a seven-month high of $1.1285 touched a week ago on improved growth prospects in Europe and a broadly weaker dollar.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.1239 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
- To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.1189, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.1239.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.1140, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.1107.
