EUR/USD 1.36 handle in firing line
FXStreet (Guatemala) - EUR/USD is trading at 1.3605, down -0.17% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.3640 and low at 1.3600.
EUR/USD is licking its wounds post the drop a series of disappointing Markit Services PMI’s across the EZ and puts the 1.36 handle into question. In respect of the ECB, Marc Chandler, Global Head of Currency Strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman commented and said, "For today, ahead of the tomorrow's ECB meeting, only a move out of the $1.3580-$1.3650 range is important. Reserve managers have reportedly been featured buyers of euros below $1.3600, and it would not be surprising if the bids were pulled due to the event risk. We suspect an asymmetrical risk that the euro breaks the range to the downside first, and this would be consistent with our warning that the market may be prone to buy the euro after the ECB event has passed."
