The Euro (EUR) is modestly higher on Tuesday's session, reflecting a mild narrowing in 10Y OAT/Bund spreads. The gap remains relatively significant (75bps), however, as tensions in the Eurozone persist, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes.
"Germany’s ZEW survey for June reflected a smaller than forecast improvement in investor expectations, rising to 47.5, from May’s 47.1. Germany’s growth momentum is improving slowly."
"Spot gains on Monday left a bullish imprint on the daily chart via a strong, piercing line signal on the daily candle chart. The EUR has drifted back somewhat from earlier gains so far today but the EUR’s rise from the upper 1.06 area suggests a potential low/reversal in place."
"The EUR remains some distance still from technically “safe” ground but gains through 1.0750 would be supportive of a base developing here and give the EUR a bit more lift. Support is 1.0665/75."
