Key Quotes
“EURUSD printed at 1.17 for the first time since the start of the month earlier in European trade as shorts continue to cover and investors perhaps consider re-establishing EUR longs”.
“There was little Eurozone data of note this morning. Eurozone M3 money supply growth””barely a consideration these days””weakened surprisingly in Jul (4.0% versus 4.5% in Jun). Italian manufacturing and consumer confidence readings weakened in Aug, however, perhaps reflecting recent domestic uncertainties”.
“Short-term trend dynamics look positive for the EUR still, with gains have developed since the middle of Aug well-supported by trend support (1.1624) and bullish trend momentum on the 1-, 6-hour and daily charts. Price signals are constructive on the weekly charts. This suggests a good chance that EUR gains can extend towards the 1.1790/00 area (Jul range highs) in the near-term at least”.
