EURO-DOLLAR: *CORRECT* EUR/USD trades flat at $1.1311 after advancing 15 pips
Monday. It is worth noting reports of U.S. Pres Trump's administration weighing
fresh auto tariffs on the EU has created a tension in bilateral relations. EU
Commission Pres Juncker pledged that Brussels shall respond with retaliation to
any trade sanctions imposed by Washington, although he indicated that he doesn't
expect any tariff implementation. Monday saw comments from ECB's Praet, who said
that the Bank has seen market increase in risks to economy & could adapt its
rate guidance if EZ econ slows sharply. On TLTRO's Praet noted that "in March we
will make an assessment of the current and expected state of bank transmission."
- Bulls look for a break above $1.1343, which represents the broken up trendline
from Jan 3 2017. This would allow them to set their sights on the 21-DMA at
$1.1364. Conversely, initial support is located at the 100-HMA at $1.1295,
followed by $1.1267, where the rate bottomed on Feb 11 & Nov 28.
- EZ focus this week turns to German ZEW survey due later today, flash EZ PMI
data & ECB Jan meeting minutes due Thursday, as well as EZ CPI & German IFO due
Friday. Elsewhere, there is plenty of ECB rhetoric scheduled for this week.
