Week Ahead February 27th – March 3rd

欧元/美元的基本面和技术面

Pair closed last week’s trading session lower on better than expected  US economic releases and hawkish FOMC minutes. The pair resumed its downside move during last week’s trading session as traders and investors are pricing-in 0.5% rate hike in the next FED meeting. There were no comments from ECB’s officials regarding any rate hike in their future policy and this let the pair in the mercy of US Dollar.

As for this week, Traders and investors, will mainly focus on the economic calendar and the speeches from both ECB’s and FED’s officials. We are estimating that current EURUSD exchange rate is already fully priced-in the 0.5% rate hike, and we are expecting the pair to recover some lost ground during this week’s trading session.

On the economic calendar, we have on Monday the European consumer confidence pointing at -19 and US Durable goods orders pointing lower at -4% On Wednesday, German Harmonized index of consumer prices expected higher at 9.6% and US ISM manufacturing PMI higher at 48 On Thursday, European Harmonized index of consumer prices expected at 8.6% On Friday, European composite PMI expected at 53 and US ISM services PMI lower at 52.4

Technically the picture is negative after last week’s downside move and closed below 61.8%. In this week’s trading session if pair resumes upside and breaks above 61.8% could change the picture to neutral and re-test  1.0700  Alternatively, if pair continues on the downside we are expecting to test 1.0350 (100%). Our traders are net long with buyers standing between 1.0870 and 1.0600 targeting profits around 1.1000. We are expecting more aggressive buyers on the way down and short sellers to appear above 1.0800.
