fundamental News - EUR/USD
EUR/USD pushing higher tpwards 1.16477 on this early Tuesday trading, as the US dollar runs into risk-on market mood.
expectation today: bullish
The Asian markets follow through Wall Street tech advance on
prospects of robust corporate earnings reports, which cooled off
concerns over rising inflationary risks and thier impact on the economic
recovery.
The retreat in the US Treasury yields and a pause in the yield
curve flattening, in the face of disappointing American Industrial
Production data, add legs to the recovery momentum in the main currency
pair.
However, the divergent monetary policy outlooks between the Fed and
the European Central Bank (ECB) could likely pose a downside risk to
EUR/USD’s further upside. The Fed is well on track to withdraw the
pandemic stimulus as early as November while the
ECB calls for keeping a high degree of flexibility in the post-crisis
stimulus measures.
“I think flexibility should remain we certainly have to discuss
how to adjust our purchase programs,” ECB policymaker Ignazio Visco said
on Monday.
In the day ahead, the pair will remain at the mercy of the US
dollar price action and the risk trends amid a data-light economic
calendar. The speeches from the ECB and Fed policymakers will hog the
limelight.
