Monday, February 27, 2017 3:20 PM UTC
- The EUR/USD pair inched higher on Monday as investors were cautious ahead of President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.
- Investors will be closely watching Trump's address for clues on his proposed tax reform and his plans to overhaul the Affordable Healthcare Act.
- Also weighing on sentiment was a Commerce Department report that showed new orders for U.S.-made capital goods unexpectedly fell in January after three straight months of strong gains.
- To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0621, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0680.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0561, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0536.
