Key quotes
“Spreading third-wave pandemic cases, renewed lockdowns, spillovers from Turkey, Chinese retaliatory sanctions on EU entities, ECB’s Lane warning of a difficult 2Q 2021 “¦ the list of EURnegatives appear exceptionally long as this juncture.”
“The breach of the 200-day MA (1.1863) adds a further negative from a technical perspective. Look for further downside for now, with the multi-session target potentially a distance lower at 1.1690/00, then 1.1610/30 (Sep/Nov 2020 lows).”
