Fundamental analysis from New Forex: Europe

The European Central Bank will reduce the monthly purchases of bonds next month and judging by this fact the narrowing will stop, however the markets expect the next reductions this year, in future and before the increase in rates. The European Central Bank should act extremely careful in order to keep prospects of flexible economic policy between the divided eurozone — with strong economy and also low unemployment rate and inflationary pressure on various sites of a range. The composite index of managers on supply of Markit in the eurozone has grown to 56.7 in March with 56.0 a month earlier outstripping the expectations foretelling the fall to 55.8 and having noted the best level since April, 2011. The production PMI index in March has grown to 56.2 with 55.4 while economists expected the decrease to 55.3. The best, than it was expected as the PMI data explained by more rapid growth of employment, growth of business activity and inflationary pressure at the expense of the high prices of raw materials and weak currency. Euro becomes stronger against the background of PMI data demonstrating that restoration of economy in the Eurozone has accelerated as the currency has grown by 0.24% against the greenback to 1.0810 and at 0.41% against the pound to 0.8646.

The yen has strengthened while the indexes control has fallen in Japan. The futures for iron ore have lost all potential which was received this year. The trading volumes in the markets decrease.

Forex News from New Forex: Technical analysis of EUR/USD
For today, the trades on this currency pair proceed in different directions but in quite narrow range. The price remains within the support level at 1.0652 and the level of resistance at 1.0697. The rate is clamped between the moving averages with the period of 20 and 55 today that indicates the weakening of bearish potential of the market.

The MACD histogram remains in a negative zone but today it rose above the alarm line creating a buy signal to the single European currency against the greenback. The Stochastic oscillator grew during the Asian trading session but now it was slowed down and doesn’t give accurate signals remaining in an overbought zone.

Also in the US, there is ADP data on the level of employment in a private sector of economy for March, which should be taken into consideration in case of investment decisions adoption.
