Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Extends Bull Run Ahead of the ECB Rate Decision

Euro: USD/EUR (EUR=X) Extends Bull Run Ahead of the ECB Rate Decision

Safe haven currencies were on the back foot yesterday, with both the dollar and also the yen coming under some downward pressure, as risk appetite continued to improve.

Ongoing optimism amongst market traders surrounding the re-opening of economies was the main driver of this action.

A strong Chinese services PMI for May was released overnight and seemingly acted as a support in this regard.

In level terms, the softer tone to both the dollar and the yen sees EUR/USD open this morning at the $1.12 threshold, whereas EUR/JPY has moved into the upper half of the ¥121-122 range. At the same time, cable (GBP/USD) is operating just under $1.26. Meanwhile, EUR/GBP is changing hands down near to the 89p threshold.

Elsewhere on money markets, the improvement in sentiment was mirrored in European equities creating some smart gains.

The Euro Stoxx 50 finished the session up 2.6%, whereas the FTSE 100 moved 0.9% higher. In the US, the S&P 500 rose by 0.8%, while the Nikkei
hit a three and a half month high in overnight trading.

Today, the highlight of the schedule is the non-manufacturing ISM for May in the United States. The index is forecast to have picked up from 41.8 to 44.0. While such a reading would offer additional proof of nascent economic recovery, dollar reaction to the release could also be minimal.

Similarly, April unemployment figures in the Eurozone are unlikely to be a mover for the euro.

Instead, moves within the main pairs, if any, are likely to be driven by shifts in sentiment. Headlines concerning protests in the United States, US China trade tensions and Brexit will bear close observation as a result.

In the face of those headwinds, it will be interesting to see if markets will stay in risk-on mode today.

Momentum Indicators

Momentum is a general term used to describe the speed at which prices move over a given time period. Generally, changes in momentum tend to lead to changes in prices. This expert shows the current values of four popular momentum indicators.

Stochastic Oscillator

One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic Oscillator is 87.3083. This is an overbought reading. However, a signal is not generated until the Oscillator crosses below 80 The last signal was a sell 10 period(s) ago.

Relative Strength Index (RSI)

The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 71.08. This is where it usually tops. The RSI usually forms tops and bottoms before the underlying security. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a sell 62 period(s) ago.

Commodity Channel Index (CCI)

The CCI shows overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) areas. The current value of the CCI is 126.This is an overbought reading. However, a signal isn’t generated until the indicator crosses below 100. The last signal was a sell 9 period(s) ago.

MACD

The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line. The last signal was a buy 13 period(s) ago.
