EUR/USD stuck around 1.3400
FXstreet.com (Edinburgh) - The EUR/USD remains in a consolidation mode around 1.3400 the figure on Wednesday, isolated from any other events/results ahead of the FOMC gathering.
EUR/USD in a narrow range
The euro preserves the narrow range since yesterday’s close in Wall St., basically between 1.3380 and roughly 1.3400 as market participants remain cautious on the Fed’s announcements later on today. “A ‘hawkish’ FOMC should thus be able to send EUR/USD lower by about the same amount as a ‘dovish’ FOMC should be able to send EUR/USD higher. In our main scenario, there should be little price action on the currency market, as this should not move the market pricing of QE tapering much”, commented Kasper Kirkegaard, Senior Analyst at Danske Bank.
EUR/USD key levels
At the moment the pair is flat at 1.3392 and a surpass of 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).
