EUR/USD

Now that the US administration has extracted some concessions from China on trade and moved negotiations onto a more extended timeline, it could turn its attention to pressuring Europe to reduce its trade surplus with the US.
Any increase in tensions between the US and the EU may be seen as undermining business confidence and delaying ECB QE exit.
That may dampen a quick or full recovery in the EUR is the risk of increasing tension between the US and the EU over Iran sanctions and trade.

EUR/USD

Will EUR/USD continue falling? A lot will depend on the ECB meeting minutes released this Thu with some members wanting the ECB to pre-announce the end of bond-buying after the current scheme ends in Sep'18. However, our friend old Draghi wants to keep pressure on as inflation remains low and he is openly doing all he can to drive down and to keep the Euro low.

EUR/USD

The world's most popular currency pair has few periods of volatility in 2017 but during the year end long holidays season, the Euro rallied up to the 1.198-1.199 levels and stayed there to usher in the new year. The saying "When nothing happens, EUR/USD rises" is all so true!

EUR/USD

EUR/USD pair trimmed some of its early gains and has now retreated around 20-25 pips from the vicinity of the 1.1800 levels.
A sharper-than-expected retracement in German ZEW economic sentiment index, coming in at 17.4 for Dec'19 as compared to previous month's 18.7, was further seen weighing on EUR/USD today.
Focus is on the highly-anticipated FOMC decision, which along with the ECB announcement on Thu'17, would help investors determine the pair's next leg of directional move.
