|
Euro (EUR) is expected to trade in a sideways range of 1.0440/1.0495 vs US Dollar (USD). In the longer run, upward momentum has slowed somewhat; but only a breach of 1.0425 would indicate that EUR is not ready to rise above 1.0530, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.
Upward momentum has slowed somewhat

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "In our latest narrative from last Friday (21 Feb, spot at 1.0500), we highlighted that 'the rejuvenated upward momentum suggests EUR could continue to advance.' We pointed out, 'there are a pair of major resistance levels at 1.0530 and 1.0560.' Yesterday, EUR rose to 1.0528, a couple of pips below 1.0530. It then pulled back sharply to close at 1.0466. Although upward momentum has slowed somewhat, only a breach of 1.0425 (no change in ‘strong support’ level) would indicate that EUR is not ready to rise above 1.0530."
