EUR/USD Daily Forecast – U.S. Dollar Is Under Pressure Against Euro
Euro Gains Ground Against U.S. Dollar
EUR/USD is currently trying to settle back above 1.1630 while the U.S. dollar is under pressure against a broad basket of currencies.
The U.S. Dollar Index is slowly moving towards the support level which has recently emerged at 93.50. A move below this level will open the way to the test of the support at the 50 EMA at 93.40 which will be bullish for EUR/USD.
Today, foreign exchange market traders will have a chance to take a look at flash PMI reports from EU. Analysts expect that Euro Area Manufacturing PMI declined from 58.6 in September to 57 in October. Euro Area Services PMI is projected to decline from 56.4 to 55.5.
In the U.S., Manufacturing PMI is projected to decrease from 60.7 in September to 60.3 in October while Services PMI is projected to grow from 54.9 to 55.1.
Traders will also keep an eye on the developments in U.S. government bond markets. The yield of 10-year Treasuries has recently made an attempt to settle above the 1.70% level but failed to develop sufficient upside momentum and pulled back. In case the yield of 10-year Treasuries settles above this level, it will continue to move towards yearly highs near 1.77% which could provide more support to the American currency.
