EUR/USD traded largely flat at 1.2060, having gained 0.5% Thursday, USD/JPY rose 0.1% to 109.16, the risk-sensitive AUD/USD fell 0.2% to 0.7766, while USD/CAD rose 0.2% to 1.2176, having fallen to a 3-1/2-year low of 1.2145 overnight, helped by the Bank of Canada's recent tapering of its asset purchases and its shift to more hawkish guidance.

(Bloomberg) -- Investors in the euro area boosted their net purchases of Chinese assets by nearly 50 billion euros ($60 billion) last year, the most since at least 2006. Data from the European Central Bank show the value of portfolios focused on the Asian nation expanded by more than 45% to 187.6 billion euros at the end of 2020 from a year earlier. China’s securities have become increasingly attractive due to a strengthening yuan, their inclusion in some major index compilers’ flagship gauges and a speedy economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

EUR/USD Is Under Pressure And Near A Critical Fibonacci Support Level At 1.1980

EUR/USD Current Price: 1.2012 USD dollar advanced despite lower equities and retreating US Treasury yields. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that rates might rise to prevent overheating the economy. EUR/USD is under pressure and near a critical Fibonacci support level at 1.1980. The EUR/USD pair edged marginally lower, ending the day around 1.2010 after hitting a daily low of 1.1998. The American dollar has strengthened against most of its major rivals, despite fluctuating stocks behavior. European indexes firmed up for most of the session, leading to gains in US futures, but there was a sudden U-turn ahead of Wall Street’s opening that led to substantial losses in European and American stocks. Wall Street bounced off intraday lows, reached after US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that at some point, “interest rates will have to rise somewhat to make sure that our economy doesn't overheat.” The US published the March Goods Trade Balance, which posted a deficit of $ 91.6 billion and Factory Orders for the same month that advanced a modest 1.1%, missing the market’s expectations. May IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism came in at 54.4, down from 56.4 in the previous month. The macroeconomic calendar will include on Wednesday the Markit Services PMIs for the EU and the US. The latter will publish the ISM Services PMI, foreseen at 64.3 from 63.7 previously. EUR/USD Short-Term Technical Outlook The EUR/USD pair is at risk of falling further. The 4-hour chart shows that it has been unable to recover above its 100 SMA once below it, while the 20 SMA extended its slide above the longer one. Technical indicators have bounced from near oversold readings but remain well into negative levels, with the RSI flat at around 41, a sign of decreased buying interest. The 38.2% retracement of the latest bullish run comes at 1.1980, with a break below it opening the door for a steeper decline.

The bounce was partly sparked by comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen that rate hikes may be needed to stop the economy overheating. Yellen later downplayed their importance, but even the slightest mention of U.S. tightening has an outsized impact in markets that have become so dependent on monetary stimulus.

Dollar Edges Lower; Sterling Rebounds After Sharp Selloff

News that AstraZeneca (NYSE:AZN) has resumed late-stage trials of its Covid-19 vaccine candidate, coupled with Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) CEO Albert Bourla saying its candidate has a “good chance” of submitting key data from late-stage trials by the end of October, has created a more positive attitude to risk, hitting the dollar. “Despite its profound fall in the past few days, we expect the pressure on GBP to continue building ... as until-recently complacent investors adjust to the new reality of a heightened no-deal Brexit risk and start/continue building GBP shorts,” ING added.

Dollar Gains From Tech Stocks Turmoil; Sterling Weakens

The dollar gained in early European trade Wednesday, with the sharp selloff in U.S. equity markets prompting traders to ditch riskier currencies in favor of the world's reserve currency.

EUR/USD slipped 0.1% to 1.1768, continuing to retreat from the 1.20 level it briefly touched last week before European Central Bank chief economist Philip Lane’s comments that the exchange rate mattered to monetary policy.

Dollar Heads Higher; Sterling Slips on GDP Release

The dollar has strengthened in early European trade Monday, with investors seeking out this safe haven after the Covid-19 outbreak forced the biggest reversal of U.S. economic reopening to date and the U.S. and China squared off over territorial disputes in the South China Sea. The number of Covid-19 cases globally has now passed the 13 million mark, according to Johns Hopkins University data, jumping by one million cases over the last five days. This has resulted in demand for the dollar as hopes of a quick economic recovery fall, with some countries, including the U.S., re-imposing lockdown measures to curb the spread of the virus.
