Analysis and Recommendations:
The EUR/USD EUR/USD started the European session little changed, but the pair started to grind lower and then turned upward after Mr Draghi’s speech and on positive business confidence numbers. The shared currency gained 46 points to trade at 1.3535. The ongoing weakness in M3 money supply and especially lending might have played some role, as it is one of the concerns the ECB has and it might influence policy decisions. So, it is a euro negative. ECB speakers brought no new info. During the US session, the pair initially held a sideways range. Initial claims were much lower than expected, but it couldn’t really give the dollar upside momentum.
The US Senate has scheduled a vote today to pass an emergency spending bill , shortening its debate in an attempt to work out a deal with the House of Representatives before a Monday night deadline when government funds will be exhausted. House Speaker Boehner warned however that House Republicans will not accept the temporary government spending bill.
The single currency was subject to some jittery trading yesterday as fears of political instability in Italy re-emerged as Renato Brunetta, a close aide to PDL party leader Silvio Berlusconi, said that support could be removed from Italian PM Enrico Letta’s coalition government if Berlusconi’s ban from office is enforced. Brunetta denied that Berlusconi himself had instigated the move; rather she argued it was a question of morality: “There was no proposal for a mass resignation. We have only asked each parliamentarian to reflect on and decide according to his or her conscience.”
