EURUSD: German Flash Services PMI

Jul 24, 2023

The EUR/USD has moved higher above the 1.1100 level after bouncing back from its lowest point in a week. However, it remains uncertain around 1.1130 during early Monday morning in Europe. The lack of clear direction is evident as the Euro pair defends yesterday's rebound from a horizontal support zone that has been in place for three months, currently ranging from 1.1100 to 1.1090.

This corrective pullback reflects the market's anticipation of today's preliminary readings of the US and Eurozone PMIs for July. Additionally, there is a sense of caution ahead of the European Central Bank (ECB) and Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decisions.
