EUR/USD is coming under pressure again. Economists at ING expect the pair to test the 1.0800 level.

Pressure on 1.0800 coming?

“We keep stressing how 1.0800 is probably a key benchmark level to gauge market sentiment about the US debt-ceiling story.”

“We could see some good support at 1.0800, and a break lower could indicate the FX market moving more seriously to price in a US default.”

“The domestic story for the Euro is not deteriorating materially and the decline is almost entirely driven by the dollar leg, although yesterday’s ZEW figures in Germany did send some worrying signals.”
