Chris Turner at ING says the Euro’s focus this week is on European Central Bank communication after last week’s rate hike, with markets assigning only a small probability to another move in July. He notes the EUR/USD advance has been underwhelming and suggests the pair does not necessarily need to trade above 1.1650 in current conditions.
ECB communication and EUR/USD levels watched
"Following last week's ECB rate hike, the focus this week will be on whether and when it needs to follow up with a second."
"Presumably, the ECB will want to keep all its options open, but it finds itself in a more comfortable position now that the market prices only a 16% chance of a rate hike in July."
"The EUR/USD rally has been less than impressive so far, and it is not clear that it needs to trade above 1.1650 today."
