EURO/USD
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008For the first time above 1.50!
We also have seen promising developments for the US yields as US treasuries sold off rather sharply yesterday compared to European counterparts. These are heightening the uncertainty once again on EURUSD direction as we remain stuck in the range (4 months and counting….). Hopefully, Bernanke’s testimony will get something started one way or the other. The action could even start today, especially if we get a rally ugly IFO reading out of Europe. We also have a slew of data from the US today.
We’re seeing a key test for EUR and the carry trade with EURJPY trying to determine whether it should maintain altitude above 160.00 after breaking that very important level yesterday (the 55-day MA is just below that level, 160.00 was a major support area before the big swoon toward 152 early this year, and daily Ichimoku cloud resistance also came in near this level yesterday) The important support for now 159.56 - the previous high.
