FXStreet (Edinburgh) – The shared currency keeps the buoyant tone today, with EUR/USD gyrating around the 1.0900 handle ahead of the NA session.
EUR/USD boosted by China
The risk aversion amongst traders keeps ruling the sentiment at the end of the week, with spot now navigating the 1.0900-1.0920 area ahead of the opening bell in Wall St.
In a context dominated almost exclusively by China, the upcoming events in the US calendar could bring in further volatility in the pair. In fact, December Retail Sales are due followed by Industrial Production, the Reuters/Michigan index and the speech by Fed’s Bullard.
