Advertisement EURO FUNDAMENTAL BACKDROP
The euro has been under significant pressure ever since global recessionary fears gripped markets causing price to pierce through multi-decade lows. This morning, the euro clawed back some of its recent losses after the FOMC minutes yesterday saw Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell attempt to cool concerns around a global slowdown by highlighting their (Fed's) preferred yield curve measure being the 3-month vs forward 3-month as opposed to the 2s10s curve emphasized by the wider market. This shorter term curve is yet to invert and given the euro some respite against a rampant dollar .
Later today, the ECB 's Monetary Policy Meeting Accounts will serve as the risk event for today and any hawkish slant could extend today's bullish bias.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
EUR/USD DAILY CHART
Chart prepared by Warren Venketas , IG
Price action on the daily EUR/USD chart above shows recent support at the 1.01615 level yesterday with the potential for limiting further downside should the daily candle close above the 1.0210 long-term inflection point. Should this come to fruition we may see another move higher towards the 2017 swing low at 1.0340. Bullish divergence has been invalidated on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shown in green however, the weekly chart continues to display the prospect of upcoming bullish divergence. Medium-term I do favor a euro recovery towards 1.0500 but short-term remains uncertain.
