OUTLOOK
  • In FX, EURUSD remains below Tuesday’s high of 1.0977. Key support to watch is at 1.0852, the 50-day EMA.

Key resistance and the bull trigger is unchanged at 1.1012, the Jun 22 high.

Wednesday’s move lower confirms an extension of the current bearish theme and the pair breached support at 1.2649, the 20-day EMA. The break of this average signals scope for a deeper pullback and exposes the 50-day EMA, at 1.2543. Initial firm resistance is 1.2760, the Jun 27 high. Another bullish session in {JN} USDJPY yesterday and the pair is holding on to this week’s gains.
