FxWirePro: EUR/USD neutral in the near-term, scope for downward resumption
Tuesday, June 20, 2017 2:12 PM UTC
- The EUR /USD pair declined on Tuesday as hawkish comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve on raising interest rates boosted greenback.
- Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said on Tuesday that the era of low-interest rates in the United States and elsewhere poses financial stability risks and that central bankers must factor such concerns into their decision-making.
- The dollar index which measures the greenback against six other major currencies, including sterling, climbed to 97.648, its highest since the end of May.
- The pair remains under bears control unless until it trades below 1.1200 resistance level, therefore it is good to sell this pair on rallies.
- To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.1166, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.1200.
- To the downside, strong support can be seen at 1.1126, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.1087.
