“This could be a sign that we are approaching the end of the USD sell-off. We also note the change in correlation compared to earlier in the year. Yesterday the USD strengthened during the day versus EUR and JPY alongside a sell-off in risks”.
“EUR/USD reached an intra-day high of 1.1616 but we have not yet got a clean break of the 1.15-1.16 area, suggesting that we could be consolidating here for a while”.
