EUR/USD under pressure at 1.10 ahead of German inflation data
EUR/USD has dragged itself back above 1.1000 levels after hitting a low of 1.09924, but the currency is expected to fall below this crucial support level, dependent on German inflation data.
EUR/USD sentiment remains depressed this week, with the currency pair managing to drag itself back above the 1.1000 support level after hitting a low of 1.09924 on Wednesday.
How long the currency pair can stay above that critical support level remains to be seen. However, with upcoming German inflation data expected to show price pressures easing in November, the euro could find some much-needed support.
German CPI this month is expected to fall to -0.06 from 0.1% last month. But if the data misses expectations the euro slide further.
The IG Client Sentiment shows that traders are 57% net-long EUR/USD, giving us a bearish contrarian bias.
