© O Financista. The trend of the EUR/USD is becoming increasingly uncertain
Investing.com – The trend seems to be leaning more and more towards the consolidation for the EUR/USD pair on Wednesday morning, after about two weeks of decline, and despite the new lows marked yesterday.
Since the beginning of the week, the economic calendar is relatively empty and the absence of news influential incentive for traders not to over-commit in one direction or another.
To a meeting of the ECB’s dovish tomorrow?
This behavior is also linked to the perspective of the ECB meeting scheduled on Thursday, and for which investors expect a tone dovish, after several signs of an economic slowdown around the world since the last meeting of the ECB.
Indeed, the growth of china, which was displayed at their lowest since 1990 for the numbers of all the year 2018, and the lowering of forecasts of global growth in the IMF, for example, is the two indexes of the most recent warning of a deteriorating global economy.
If the ECB highlights the decline in economic growth in its statement tomorrow, it will be considered as a signal dovish which will push even more the expectations for the first rate increase from the ECB, probably in 2019, which would penalize the single currency.
Waiting to know more on what prepares the ECB, investors are cautious, and this should remain the case today with an economic calendar is almost empty, at least as regards the events potentially influential on the Euro-Dollar.
