Instead of continuing to rise, Euro (EUR) is likely to trade between 1.0360 and 1.0430. In the longer run, outlook is unclear; EUR could trade in a broad range of 1.0250/1.0490 for the time being, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

Outlook for Euro is unclear for now

24-HOUR VIEW: “We indicated yesterday that EUR ‘could continue to rise, but any advance is unlikely to break clearly above 1.0425.’ We added, ‘the major resistance at 1.0490 is unlikely to come into view.’ The anticipated advance exceeded our expectations as EUR rose briefly to 1.0442 before pulling back to close at 1.0402 (+0.24%). The pullback in overbought conditions and slowing momentum suggest that instead of continuing to rise, EUR is likely to trade between 1.0360 and 1.0430 today.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “We continue to hold the same view as yesterday (05 Feb, spot at 1.0375). As pointed out, “the outlook is unclear for now, and EUR could trade in a broad range of 1.0250/1.0490 for the time being.”
