The first reading of the Eurozone fourth-quarter GDP figures is due for release later today at 10:00 GMT. As there are downside risks to this reading, the EUR/USD pair should stall at the key 1.1200 hurdle, economists at ING report.
“Downside risks to the Eurozone GDP number are possible, given Germany's poor reading, but our team still expects a rebound in the spring or summer. That should be a key theme in helping EUR/USD to build a floor in the 1.08/1.10 area later this year.”
“In the shorter term, the biggest input to EUR this week will be Thursday's ECB meeting. This looks unlikely to provide EUR/USD with much support. And we think today's correction in EUR/USD should be relatively shallow and stall ahead of 1.1200.”
