FXStreet (Mumbai) – The EUR/USD pair dropped to its 100-DMA at 1.1147 before recovering slightly to 1.1160 while US stock futures point to sharp losses on the Wall Street later today.
USD resilient to losses in stocks
The greenback is showing uncanny resilience to the losses in the stock markets, while the EUR is surprisingly weak amid risk aversion. However, the common currency is trading relatively resilient compared to Sterling.
The stock markets across Europe suffered losses and dragged the US index futures lower. At the time of writing, the Dow futures were indicating the index could open almost 300 points lower. Still, the FX markets are relatively calm with USD and Japanese Yen ruling the roost.
Ahead in the day, the spot could take cues from the Eurozone consumer confidence report and Fed’s Lockhart speech.
EUR/USD Technical Levels
The immediate support is seen at 1.1160 (100-DMA), under which losses could be extended to 1.11 levels. On the other side, resistance is seen at 1.1211 (200-DMA) and 1.13 levels.
