EUR/USD

EUR/USD has had a quiet session, although it has lost some ground amid mild profit-taking ahead of the European Central Bank meeting on Thursday.

EUR/USD has fallen to a low of 1.3846 during the Asian session, after closing in NY around 1.3870. EUR/USD is currently trading at 1.3855/60, slightly lower since opening.

Traders are expecting the ECB will move toward an eventual rate hike, so there is risk the hegemonic currency weakens if they get disappointed.

In a deeper analysis, the Reuters Insiders Team reported, "Bullish on the Euro, traders bet the European Central Bank will signal a rate hike later today. They are expecting Jean-Claude Trichet to sharpen his anti-inflation rhetoric as oil prices continue to soar. Immediate resistance is seen at 1.3900 where it has option related offers but further resistance is seen at 1.3947".

  11. The sad part is, I don't think oil prices are likely to go down soon. Or ever again for that matter...
