EUR/USD retreats from highs after US PPI
FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD faced mild selling pressure and retreated from daily highs following the release of better-than-expected US producer price index.
The producer price index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2% in July (exp 0.1%) after climbing 0.4% in June, the Labor Department said Friday. Core prices, which exclude volatile components such as energy and food, rose 0.3% in July versus 0.1% expected. Over 12 months to July, producer prices fell 0.8% while core prices were up only 0.6%.
EUR/USD pulled back from the 1.1190 zone and dipped to the 1.1150 zone, where it trades virtually unchanged on the day. Attention now turns to US industrial production data, due at 13:15 GMT.
EUR/USD technical levels
In terms of technical levels, next supports are seen at 1.1123 (Aug 14 low), 1.1079 (Aug 13 low) and 1.1039 (100-day SMA). On the flip side, resistances could be found at 1.1188 (Aug 13 & 14 highs) and 1.1213/15 (Aug 12 & Jul 10 highs) ahead of 1.1275 (Jun 29 high).
