EUR/USD rebounded on Friday, clipping a week-long losing streak.
A last-second recovery in Fiber bids came from broad-market Greenback weakness.
The Euro remains poised for further losses after another rate cut from the ECB this week.
EUR/USD drifted into a rebound on Friday, snapping a four-day losing streak. A wider selloff in Greenback flows off the back of a broad-market recovery in risk appetite was the primary driver in Fiber gains to wrap up the trading week, rather than any intrinsic boosts in Euro markets.
A midweek rate cut from the European Central Bank (ECB) gave markets little reason to prop up the Euro in the near-term, and Fiber bulls will be forced to sit on their hands and wait until next Thursday’s pan-EU Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) figures before getting a chance to exercise their buy buttons meaningfully.
US housing and construction figures came in moderately mixed on Friday, further entrenching investors in a buying mood and further crushing any fears of an economic slowdown right around the corner. The US’ “soft landing” scenario appears to have been fully averted with growth and activity metrics easily beating expectations, and upbeat Retail Sales figures releases earlier this week further make the case.
