EUR/USD Daily Forecast – Resistance At 1.1750 Stays Strong

U.S. Dollar Tries To Rebound Against Euro

EUR/USD faced resistance at 1.1750 and pulled back while the U.S. dollar gained some ground against a broad basket of currencies.

The U.S. Dollar Index has recently managed to get back above the resistance at 93.10 and is trying to develop additional upside momentum. In case this attempt is successful, it will head towards the next resistance at 93.40 which will be bearish for EUR/USD.

Today, foreign exchange market traders will focus on Ifo Business Climate report from Germany. The report is expected to show that Business Climate declined from 99.4 in August to 98.9 in September. In the U.S., New Home Sales are projected to increase by 0.5% month-over-month in August.

It should be noted that Treasury yields have moved to multi-week highs, which may provide additional support to the U.S. dollar, although it remains to be seen whether traders are ready for big moves ahead of the weekend.
