FXStreet (Mumbai) – The EUR/USD pair extends its side-trend above 1.06 handle for the second day-in a row, as lack of fresh incentives amid holiday-thinned trades, keeps the major flat-lined.
EUR/USD sold-off at hourly 50-SMA at 1.0616
Currently, the EUR/USD pair trades almost unchanged at 1.0609, locked-in 15-pips narrow range. Amid lack of significant drivers, the main currency pair continues to trade around a flat-line, although keeping further bearish potential intact ahead of next week’s ECB meeting.
Markets have almost priced-in additional stimulus (more QE/ deposit rates cut) from the ECB next week, as the central struggles to fight deflation and anaemic growth.
Looking ahead, attention now turns to a flurry of key macro releases from across the globe as markets are expected to remain muted on the back of the US Thanksgiving weekend.
