EUR/USD Mid-Session Technical Analysis For December 7, 2021
The Euro is trading lower against the U.S. Dollar on Tuesday, hurt by expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will tighten policy more quickly than the dovish European Central Bank.
Weak business sentiment in the Euro Zone also pressured the single currency, while hopes that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 would be less severe than previously expected boosted risk appetite and consequently demand for the higher-yielding U.S. Dollar.
At 14:23 GMT, the EUR/USD is trading 1.1240, down 0.0044 or -0.39%. On Tuesday, the Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust (FXE) ETF settled at $104.96, down $0.26 or -0.25%.
In economic news, German investor sentiment deteriorated in December as a fourth wave of COVID-19 infections and persistent supply bottlenecks in manufacturing clouded the growth outlook for Europe’s largest economy, the ZEW survey showed.
