FxWirePro: EUR/USD neutral in the near-term, scope for downward resumption
Wednesday, July 5, 2017 1:43 PM UTC
- The EUR/USD pair traded in lower range on Wednesday as investors awaited minutes of the Federal Reserve's last meeting for more clues on interest rate hikes this year.
- The Fed, which lifted interest rates and unveiled details of its plan to cut its mammoth crisis-era bond portfolio at its mid-June meeting, will release minutes at 2 p.m. ET (1800 GMT).
- A recent set of tepid economic data and an inflation rate below the central bank's 2 percent target may have a bearing on its rate hike plans.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.1376 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 1.1347, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.1376.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.1316, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.1286.
