U.S. Dollar Is Moving Lower Against Euro
EUR/USD continues its attempts to settle above the resistance at 1.1880 while the U.S. dollar is under pressure against a broad basket of currencies.
The U.S. Dollar Index has recently managed to get below the support at the 92 level and is heading towards the next support at the 50 EMA near 91.90. In case the U.S. Dollar Index declines below this level, it will move towards the support at 91.80 which will be bullish for EUR/USD.
Today, foreign exchange market traders will focus on the economic data from EU. Analysts expect that Euro Area Services PMI increased from 58.3 in June to 60.4 in July as the services segment continued to recover. Euro Area Retail Sales are projected to grow by 1.7% month-over-month in June after growing by 4.6% in May. On a year-over-year basis, Retail Sales are expected to grow by 4.5%.
In the U.S., traders will focus on ADP Employment Change report which is expected to show that private businesses added 695,000 jobs in July. The Fed has recently reiterated that the health of the job market remained its top priority, so ADP Employment Change data may have a material impact on currency dynamics.
