5 Reasons EUR/USD is Coiling - GBP/USD Waits for UK, US CPIs on Tues
Here you can find all the latest breaking forex and currency news about 5 Reasons EUR/USD is Coiling - GBP/USD Waits for UK, US CPIs on Tues including currency analysis and forecasts, live foreign exchange rates, central bank interest rates, and currency trading strategies from experienced fx traders and forex platforms.
Talking Points:
- EURUSD narrows into range between 1.3335 and 1.3440.
- GBPUSD tests downtrend from 7/15 and 8/6 highs after gap higher.
- August is a seasonally favorable month for the US Dollar in the QE era.
The US Dollar has cleared out some of the short-term overbought conditions in a few key technical indicators, but there are several factors in play that could keep a lid on prices until tomorrow. On an event-basis alone, truly significant US economic data doesn't hit the calendar until tomorrow.
Instead, there are several competing factors at work keeping EURUSD pinned lower. Among them: interest rate differentials, especially among peripheral sovereigns; liquidity conditions; one-sided non-commercial/speculative positioning; persistently disappointing economic data; and the overhang of additional easing.
These factors are explained in greater detail in the weekly trading forecast section, "Euro’s Potential Capped as Regional Growth Grinds to a Halt".
For the GBPUSD, the downtrend from the July 15 and August 6 highs is currently being tested but amid a low volume environment - there were few significant geopolitical headlines over the weekend and there's little data on the calendar - it's likely that any good shot at a breakout will have to wait. Tomorrow, both the UK and US Consumer Price Indexes will be released, which should stir prices some.
