154
On Tuesday, the EUR/USD finished the day with losses of 0.42%, closing at around 1.0954as risk appetite deteriorated on news that put a possible global economic slowdown into the table. In addition, news from Italy setting a one-off 40% tax on bank profits sent shockwaves acroos the Eurozone (EU), weakening the Euro (EUR). At the time of writing, the EUR/USD exchanges hands at 1.0956, registering minuscle losses of 0.01%.
The EUR/USD's fall was precipitated by Italy's imposing a nex tax. At the same time, inflation data from Germany eased from 6.4% in June to 6.2% YoY in July, as estimated by analysts. Month-over-month data also came at 0.3%, as foreseen and unchanged from June.
EUR/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
From a daily chart perspective, the EUR/USD is set to extend its losses and test the last week's low of 1.0912 before claiming the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.0901. Break of those two levels and the EUR/USD would dive toward the July 6 low at 1.0833 before challenging the 200-day EMA at 1.0795. On the opposite spectrum, if EUR/USD buyers step in and lift prices past the 20-day EMA at 1.1006, that would exacerbate a rally towards 1.1100.
