EUR/USD muted after German factory orders
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The EUR/USD pair was virtually unchanged after the release of weak economic data in Germany Thursday.
In Germany, Factory Orders n.s.a. (YoY) recorded a decline of -0.4% in April, missing estimates of just -0.2%, and compared with -0.3% previously. Moreover, Factory Orders s.a. (MoM) yielded a figure of -2.3% in April, against a consensus of -1.0%.
Briefing the technicals, the pair is operating at +0.17% in these moments at 1.3116/18. The Mataf.net analyst team posits the next short-term resistances at 1.3112, then 1.3145, and finally 1.3174. On the decline, calculated measures of support lie below at 1.3005, ahead of 1.3021, and 1.2988.
According to the DBS Research Team, “After the ECB 25bp cut at the May review, they expect the main refinancing rate to be left unchanged at 0.5% which will leave the deposit facility rate steady at 0% as the recent discussions on the merits of such a move have been largely inconclusive.”
