The USD continued to weaken in today\u2019s Asian session, while gold\u2019s price failed to benefit from it. On the other hand, US stock markets seem to be recovering some ground in the premarket hours. Across the pond, the common currency edged higher as US President Trump delayed the imposition of a 50% tariff on European products until the 9th of July. European equities tended to be on the rise today recovering Friday\u2019s losses and stabilise. At the same time the US President\u2019s relationship with Russian President Putin seems to be souring, which tends to beg the question whether new sanctions are to be applied on Russia, a scenario that could create some support for oil prices, yet at the same time may create hopes for a possible improvement of the EU-US relationships. Today we expect ECB President Christine Lagarde to capture EUR trader\u2019s attention and should she sound more hawkish than market expectations, the common currency could get additional support. Other than that EUR trader may start preparing for the release of France\u2019s preliminary HICP rate for May in tomorrow\u2019s early European session and a possible acceleration could support the common currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a technical level, EUR\/USD is on the rise over the past week, aiming for the 1.1480 (R1) resistance line. Given that the RSI indicator below our 1-day chart is above the reading of 50 and rising, implying an increasingly bullish market sentiment for the pair, we expect the pair\u2019s upward movement to continue. Should the bulls maintain control over the pair, we may see it breaking the 1.1480 (R1) resistance line and start aiming for the 1.1690 (R2) resistance level. For a bearish outlook to emerge, we would require the pair to break the 1.1210 (S1) support line and start aiming for the 1.0940 (S2) support level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the commodities front, WTI\u2019s price action bounced on the 59.85 (S1) support line on Friday. The price action of WTI, despite some slight bearish tendencies over the past ten days seems to remain relatively stable. The RSI indicator is running along the reading of 50 and the Bollinger bands have narrowed with both indicators implying the possibility of a continuance of the sideways motion. Should bears take over, we may see WTI\u2019s price breaking the 59.85 (S1) support line and continuing to aim for the 54.80 (S2) support level. For a bullish outlook we would require WTI\u2019s price to rise above the 56.10 (R1) resistance line and start aiming of the 68.40 (R2) resistance level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
