EUR/USD suffered a second week of significant falls after euro-zone figures disappointed and the dollar kept advancing. Is the pair ready to recover or are we going to see more drops? Flash PMI’s and German Ifo Business Climate are the highlights of this week. Here is an outlook for the main events and an updated technical analysis for EUR/USD.
Eurozone economic data was hit by a constant flow of disappointing GDP numbersdragging the 17-country currency bloc to its longest-ever recession. Germany the leading force in Europe failed to meet market expectations, growing a mere 0.1% in March. France contracted 0.2% in March and officially fell back to recession. The EU as a whole declined by 0.2%. Is the recovery awaiting us in H2 as the ECB estimates? In the meantime, the central bank continues to check out the possibility of a negative deposit rate, and this weighs on the euro. In the US,data hasn’t been all rosy, but the economy continues growing.

Lower inflation (now confirmed for the euro-zone) was one of the triggers for the rate cut.

Another decline occurred in Germany’s service sector, falling to 49.2 in April from 50.9 in the previous month raising concerns that the strongest EU nation is affected by the general slowdown. Meanwhile French figures were more optimistic. The manufacturing sector increased 0.4 points to 44.4, above predictions for a 44.2 reading and the service sector edged up to 44.1 from 41.3 in March, raising hopes of an emerging recovery process. Furthermore, Markit’s flash euro zone services PMI, rose to 46.6 in April from 46.4 in March, but the manufacturing sector declined slightly to 46.5 from 46.8 in March, still below the 50 point line, however, signaling that the worst is over.
