EUR/USD. February 06, 2020 – Dollar continues to grow

The euro halted its fall in the 1.1000 area after China announced a decision to halve import duties on US goods worth about $75 billion to improve trade relations. At the same time, markets ignore the topic of the further spread of the Chinese virus, despite the continuing increase in cases of the disease.
Yesterday, the dollar showed strong growth after the release of data on business activity in the service sector. ISM's Procurement Managers Index for the US non-manufacturing sector rose from 54.9 to 55.5, while the number of jobs created in the private sector of the US economy increased by 291 thousand in January against expectations for growth of 157 thousand.
Today we expect the dollar to grow to the 1.0980 area.

07.02. Euro updated its minimum at 1.0950

The euro continues to update lows in the 1.0950 area. Moods at global sites remain negative amid continued growth in infections and deaths from the Wuhan coronavirus. High infection rates limit risk appetite.

The dollar continues to receive support from the publication of macroeconomic reports from the United States. ISM indices and ADP data released this week turned out to be significantly better than analysts' forecasts, which provided significant support to the American currency.

Today, you should pay attention to official statistics on the US labor market. If the data reflect the increase in the number of new jobs in the US economy in January, the dollar will be able to finish the week at very favorable levels.

EUR/USD. February 10, 2020 – Euro continues to drift in the area of ​​lows


The pair EUR/USD starts the week at the low of 1.0945. The US dollar remains strong after the release of statistics on the labor market. The number of newly created jobs in the United States increased by 225 thousand, which significantly exceeded the consensus forecast of analysts, suggesting an increase of only 165 thousand.


Today the news background is calm. The dynamics of the pair will be determined mainly by the appearance of news on the situation with coronavirus in China. To date, the number of deaths from the virus continues to grow, as does the number of new cases worldwide. This situation puts strong pressure on the entire range of risky assets.

Fundamental Brent analysis for February 11, 2020


Today, Brent quotes show some growth during the morning trading, although the risks of further decline are still elevated. Oil prices were supported by the comments of the Energy Minister of Kazakhstan that the OPEC+ countries intend to postpone the ministerial meeting from March to the end of February.


Last week, the OPEC+ Technical committee recommended that countries increase oil production by 0.6 million barrels per day in the second quarter of this year amid a decline in demand for raw materials from China. However, OPEC+ member countries have not yet expressed a unified position on this recommendation, which does not allow prices for «black gold» to demonstrate a steady recovery from local lows.


Today, you should pay attention to data from the American Petroleum Institute (API) on US crude oil reserves. Analysts expect an increase in reserves of 3 million barrels. If the forecast is confirmed, pressure on Brent will resume again.

EUR/USD. February 12, 2020 – Euro consolidated at 1.09 lows


The sentiment on global sites remains moderately positive in the face of a slowdown in the spread of coronavirus infection around the world. In recent days, experts have noted a decrease in cases of new diseases, which suggests that China's preventive measures have begun to bear fruit.


As a result, the pair's rate stabilized near the level of 1.0900. At the same time, the US dollar remains strong, having received support from yesterday's statement by J. Powell. The head of the US Federal Reserve noted that the US economy remains very stable, and the current monetary policy of the regulator is optimal in the current conditions.


Also, ECB President Christine Lagarde shared her vision of fiscal stimulus yesterday. The politician urged European officials to carefully study the possibilities of stimulating the economy through fiscal policy, since the ECB's zero rates do not really help to achieve the inflation target.


Thus, against this background, the US dollar looks more attractive for purchases. During the day, the pair will fluctuate slightly near the level of 1.09.

GBP/USD. February 13, 2020 – Sterling confidently broke through the level 1,30


The sterling is growing steadily today, breaking the level of 1.30 The pair is under the multidirectional influence of several factors at once. On the one hand, in the credit market, there is a decrease in the yield spread of 10-year UK/US government bonds, which is negative for the British currency.


On the other hand, macroeconomic data from the UK provided some support to the pound. Despite the fact that statistics for the IV quarter of 2019 showed stagnation of the economy, annualized growth was 1.1%. Analysts had expected a slowdown of 0.8%. Industrial production did not grow as much as analysts had expected, but Britain recorded an unexpected trade surplus in December amid a jump in metal exports (0.85B).


Thus, the pound is growing, the main goal of the «bulls» is the area near the level of 1.3050.

14.02. Евро под сильным давлением


Курс единой европейской валюты оказался под сильным давлением из-за неудовлетворительных экономических показателей еврозоны на фоне выхода Великобритании из ЕС.


На торгах в конце недели евро достиг двухлетнего минимума по отношению к доллару США на отметке 1.0828. Негативные результаты евро обусловлены неутешительными фундаментальными докладами.


Сегодня Германия сообщила о последних показателях ВВП страны. Несмотря на то, что годовые отчеты были лучше прогнозируемых, квартальный показатель 0,0% оказался ниже ожидаемого 0,1%, а также хуже предыдущего 0,2%. Это свидетельствует о неожиданно быстром замедлении крупнейшей экономики еврозоны.


Общий ВВП еврозоны снизился до 0,9%, тогда как аналитики ожидали 1,0%. При этом занятость увеличилась на 1%, чего оказалось недостаточно, чтобы оказать поддержку курсу евро.


Глобальный экономический спад, торговая война, вспышка коронавируса в Китае и неопределенные отношения с Соединенным Королевством в большей или меньшей степени оказывают негативное воздействие на экономику еврозоны.

EUR/USD. February 14, 2020 – Euro remains in the lows of 2017


The euro continues to move within the downward channel near the 1.0840 mark. The sentiment in global markets remains moderately negative in the absence of new negative news on the spread of coronavirus in China.


The European currency is at the lows of 2017 under the pressure of weak macroeconomic data from Europe and a strong US dollar. The US currency received support from yesterday's inflation data in the United States, which reflected a slight acceleration in consumer prices in January (2.5% y/y versus 2.3% y/y). If today's data on retail sales and industrial production for January indicate the preservation of stable business activity in the US, the dollar will continue to grow to 1.0800.

EUR/USD. February 17, 2020 – Euro remains in the area of ​​two-year lows

The sentiment on global sites remains moderately optimistic amid the lack of negative news on the topic of coronavirus. The growth rate of new cases of diseases decreased again after the jump caused by the use of a new method for diagnosing the virus. As a result, the EUR/USD pair is trading at 1.0840, remaining in the area of ​​two-year lows.

Today's news background is calm, and in the week you should pay attention to the macroeconomic data block for January. PMI business activity indices in the European Union and the USA will be published on Friday. If statistics show deterioration, risky assets may again be under pressure.

Today, the pair will be trading primarily in a sideways manner near 1.0840.
