Euro-dollar retreated further on 1 May in thin trading to retest $1.13. Trade wars are less in focus now with the rising possibility of deals between the USA and India, Japan and South Korea among others. Although American advance GDP for the first quarter was disappointing at negative 0.3%, the generally positive reaction by the dollar might suggest positive sentiment and that participants had been expecting a worse result. Flash GDP for the eurozone was better than expected on 30 April.
$1.13 remains an important technical reference. A break clearly below there might open the way to $1.11 and possibly lower in the medium term, especially if sentiment and the American job report support. Conversely, a bounce from here would probably mean a retest of the latest highs around $1.156 sooner or later. Overall, euro-dollar’s performance since the end of February has been very strong, so it’d be possible to see the price consolidating for a while before making clear new highs if the uptrend does indeed continue. Apart from 2 May’s NFP, next week’s press conference from the Fed is critical.
