Current trend
After yesterday’s decline and renewing the lows of June 15, the EUR/USD pair is correcting at 1.0855.
The dynamics of the asset are developing against negative forecasts regarding the statistics on the August business activity of the leading EU countries, which will be published today. Thus, the German manufacturing PMI may reach 38.7 points, lower than 38.8 points earlier, the French manufacturing PMI – 45.0 points relative to 45.1 points, and the EU manufacturing PMI may drop from 42.7 points to 42.6 points. The German service PMI is expected to decrease from 52.3 points to 51.5 points, and the French service PMI may increase to 47.5 points from 47.1 points, changing the EU service PMI from 50.9 points to 50.5 points and putting additional pressure on the euro.
The US dollar is trading at 103.300 in the USD Index. Yesterday’s report on the real estate sector disappointed investors, but did not change the trend: July existing home sales fell to 4.07M from 4.16M, below the forecasted 4.15M, which was –2.2% compared to the previous month, continuing the negative trend since the beginning of the year.
Support and resistance
On the daily chart, the trading instrument continues its downward correction, approaching the lower border of the global ascending corridor with dynamic boundaries 1.1320–1.0760.
