EUR/USD sidelined below 1.10, PMI eyed
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The single currency is posting marginal losses at the beginning of the week, taking EUR/USD to a consolidative pattern below the 1.100 handle so far.
EUR/USD focus on PMIs
Spot is looking to stabilize the drop from levels just above 1.1100 the figure last week, current navigating the 1.0900/80 band ahead of the final figures of the manufacturing PMIs in Euroland for the last month.
The risk-on sentiment remains subdued so far following a lower than expected Caixin Manufacturing PMI in China during July, down to 47.8 from 48.2 previous. In addition, the greenback continues to extend the recovery seen last Friday, with the ISM manufacturing and Personal Spending/Income taking centre stage later on today.
EUR/USD levels to watch
As of writing the pair is retreating 0.10% at 1.0974 with the next support at 1.0921 (low Jul.31) followed by 1.0893 (low Jul.30) and finally 1.0811 (low Jul.11). On the flip side, a breakout of 1.1080 (high Jul.29) would aim for 1.1113 (high Jul.31) and then 1.1130 (high Jul.27).
