EUR/USD - 1.1179
Euro’s intra-day gain to 1.1181 on Friday due to broad-based weakness in usd on falling U.S. yields and stocks suggests further choppy trading above May’s 2-year bottom at 1.1108 would continue with upside bias for stronger gain to 1.1215/25.
However, break there is needed to retain bullishness for subsequent headway to 1.1240/50.

Only a daily close below 1.1138 (New York low) dampens bullish view and risks weakness towards 1.1116 but 1.1108 should remain intact.

Today is PMI day in the euro area countries, Italy will kick off with Markit mfg PMI, then the same from France, Germany and the EU, if these PMI readings come out higher than market estimates, then euro will extend Friday’s gain, if not, expect a minor pullback before prospect of another rise later in the day.

Only below 1.1215 signals temporary top is in place, then risk would shift to the downside for stronger retracement to 1.1190, then 1.1157/60.

Although euro’s decline from last Friday’s post-NFP 10-week high at 1.1347 to as low as 1.1269 yesterday confirms recent upmove has made a temporary top there, loss of downward momentum is likely to limit weakness to 1.1252 and bring rebound later, a firm break above 1.1303/08 res would signal pullback has ended and would head back towards said Jun’s high next week.
