EUR/USD unmotivated near 1.10, German CPI on sight
The upside momentum around the common currency seems to have evaporated during the European morning, relegating EUR/USD to the current 1.1025/20 band.
EUR/USD attention to German data
Spot has given away its initial spike to the 1.1070 region posted during overnight trading, although sellers could not break below the psychological support at 1.10 the figure amidst swelling risk appetite.
Following poor results from EMU’s Economic Sentiment and Consumer Confidence, next on tap will be the preliminary inflation figures in Germany for the current month, expected to have advanced 0.2% on a yearly basis, all ahead of the more relevant Q4 GDP readings in the US economy.
EUR/USD levels to watch
The pair is now losing 0.05% at 1.1018 and a break below 1.0974 (55-day sma) would expose 1.0955 (low Feb.24) and finally 1.0867 (76.4% Fibo of December up-move). On the other hand, the immediate hurdle aligns at 1.1120 (20-day sma) ahead of 1.1220 (23.6% Fibo of December up-move) and then 1.1379 (2016 high Feb.11).
