EUR/USD consolidates below 1.3600
FXstreet.com (Edinburgh) -The shared currency keeps the upper band of today’s range, with the EUR/USD meandering around 1.3580/1.3600.
EUR/USD boosted by Italy, ECB
The single currency found extra oxygen after Italian PM Enrico Letta won the confidence vote in the Senate (235-70), leaving behind the political unease after last weekend’s events. Recall that ‘Il Cavaliere’ Silvio Berlusconi ordered PdL’s parliamentary members to withdraw their support to the Government, triggering once again another political crisis in the peninsula. Further impulse came in after the ECB meeting and press conference by President Mario Draghi. A repetition of past comments and announcements disappointed investors, who were expecting a dovish tone.
EUR/USD relevant levels
The pair is now advancing 0.44% at 1.3587 with the next resistance at 1.3660 (high Feb.4) followed by 1.3711 (2013 high Feb.1) and finally 1.3800 (psychological level). On the downside, a break below 1.3505 (low Oct.2) would aim for 1.3500 (psychological level) and then 1.3467 (low Sep.30).
