EUR/USD capped by 1.0980
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The common currency is now gathering steam vs. the dollar on Tuesday, taking EUR/USD to the 1.0970/75 area.
EUR/USD focus on US data
The pair keeps the weekly range below the 1.1000 handle, against a backdrop of a cautious tone from investors in light of relevant releases in the US economy and ahead of the critical Non-farm Payrolls due on Friday (222K exp.).
Market participants largely bypassed auspicious results from manufacturing PMIs in Euroland during July posted yesterday, more concerned instead on the potential slowdown of the Chinese economy and the increasing selling bias in the commodities space, with direct implications on the EM universe.
EUR/USD key levels
As of writing the pair is advancing 0.19% at 1.0972 facing the next resistance at 1.1080 (high Jul.29) followed by 1.1113 (high Jul.31) and then 1.1130 (high Jul.27). On the flip side, a break below 1.0921 (low Jul.31) would target 1.0893 (low Jul.30) en route to 1.0811 (low Jul.11).
