EUR/USD trades with modest gains amid softer USD, remains below 1.1000 mark

  • EUR/USD attracts some buyers on Friday amid a modest US Dollar downdraft.
  • Dovish Fed expectations and a positive risk tone weigh on the safe-haven buck.
  • Bets for more ECB rate cuts could act as a headwind for the Euro and cap gains.

The EUR/USD pair builds on the previous day's late rebound from the 1.0950 area and gains some positive traction during the Asian session on Friday. Spot prices, however, struggle to capitalize on the uptick and currently trade around the 1.0975-1.0980 region, up just over 0.05% for the day.

A combination of factors prompts fresh selling around the US Dollar (USD), which, in turn, is seen lending some support to the EUR/USD pair. Despite Thursday's upbeat US macro data, investors seem convinced that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will begin its policy-easing cycle in September and have fully priced in a 25 basis rate cut. This, in turn, triggers a modest pullback in the US Treasury bond yields and exerts some downward pressure on the buck.

Apart from this, the prevalent risk-on mood – as depicted by a positive tone across the global equity markets – turns out to be another factor undermining demand for the safe-haven Greenback. That said, the risk of widening conflict in the Middle East could act as a tailwind for the USD. Apart from this, expectations that the European Central Bank (ECB) will cut rates again, amid declining inflation in the Eurozone, seem to cap gains for the EUR/USD pair. 

Nevertheless, spot prices remain on track to register modest weekly gains. Moreover, the emergence of some dip-buying near the 1.0950 horizontal resistance-turned-support on Thursday warrants some caution before positioning for deeper losses. Traders now look to the US macro data – Building Starts, Housing Permits and the Preliminary Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index – for short-term opportunities later during the early North American session.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
