Fundamental Analysis of EUR/USD for August 27, 2018

EUR/USD has been quite impulsive with bullish gains recently which lead the price to reside above 1.15 area with a daily close. Due to recent downbeat economic data from the US, EURO managed to gain certain momentum over USD which is expected to be quite short-lived.

EUR has been trading with a predictable dynamic which encouraged EUR to sustain its momentum in the process. Today, EUR has been quite strong in light of the fundamentals. German Ifo Business Climate index surged to 103.8 from the previous figure of 101.7 which was expected to be at 101.9. Moreover, this week German Retail Sales, Unemployment Rate, and Flash CPI reports are going to be published.
