The pair tried to move higher, but never went so long. An important German survey, fresh inflation numbers and Draghi’s testimony remains out. We have a breakout nearly late September. Worries regarding a hard Brexit and fewer weak data weighed on the euro. PMIs were mostly positive but did not cheer up the financial market. The Fed was at the center of focus point, the rates were left unmodified as we expected, and the door is extend unlock to a hike this yearend. The pair enjoyed the no-hike statement, but this did not stay too long. The Fed made sure it’s on the intrusive side and the ECB is going opposite direction. The greenback also has the safe-haven asset, becoming more significant as the US elections get closer and the chase is tight. EURUSD remains Bearish.
