Hello traders, some information to help you trade better is here.
The EUR/USD experienced a consecutive drop, resulting in the lowest daily close in two months, due to the US Dollar's increasing strength. The Greenback was supported by higher Treasury yields and risk aversion. Any recovery seen during the European session was short-lived, and the pair returned to trading near 1.0750.
Economic data released on Wednesday revealed that the German IFO Business Climate Index dropped slightly to 91.7 in May from 93.4 in April (revised from 93.6), contrary to the market expectation of 93. However, this report did not have any impact on the Euro. On Thursday, a new estimate of Q1 GDP will be released by Germany, which is expected to remain at 0%.
According to the FOMC minutes, officials had differing opinions on the future of interest rates. Some members believed that more rate hikes were necessary, while others argued against further policy tightening. Overall, there was uncertainty about the appropriate amount of policy tightening. The US Dollar experienced a slight weakening after the minutes, but still maintained most of its daily gains.
Market sentiment deteriorated further amid a gloomy growth outlook and the debt-ceiling drama. Negotiations continue in Washington but no deal yet. On Thursday, economic reports due in the US include Jobless Claims.
