EURUSD Fundamental Analysis

We had the Manufacturing PMI data from the US yesterday and that came in at a healthy 54.7 which continued the trend of good economic data coming out of the US for the past couple of months. We had mentioned that continuing good data from the US will increase the chances of a quick hike from the Fed in 2017 and this would also mean that the markets will start pricing in the hikes quicker as well. This is what we saw yesterday as the EURUSD pair crashed through 1.0400 and even broke through the December lows for a brief period. It did recover as we moved closer to the London fix and it sits just around 1.0400 as of writing this. We expect the strength of the dollar to continue to dominate the markets for today as well and this could bring yesterdays lows into the picture. A clear break of this low could push the EURUSD pair below 1.0300.

We do not have any major news from the US or the Eurozone for today. Except FOMC meetings. so the markets are likely to continue to be dominated by the flows and also by the positioning by the returning traders and also positioning ahead of the key economic reports that are scheduled to be released over the past couple of days. Traders will be viewing any decent bounce in the EURUSD pair as an opportunity to go short.
