EUR/USD vs. B.Bernanke
According to the research team at BBH, the FOMC statement would be the least relevant release, as the evaluation of the economy would remain pretty much the same. “We expect the Chairman to help investors differentiate between tapering and tightening and to try to drive home the point that current conditions are not sufficient to slow down the long-term asset purchases ($85 bln a month)… The Fed exited QE1 and QE2 too early and needs to avoid making the same mistake for a third time”, concluded the analysts.
EUR/USD key levels
At the moment the pair is up 0.08% at 1.3403 and a break above 1.3411 (high Jun.19) would target 1.3416 (high Jun.18) en route to 1.3456 (high Feb.14). On the downside, support levels align at 1.3338 (hourly low Jun.18) ahead of 1.3326 (MA10d) and finally 1.3325 (low Jun.18).
