2017.05.1810:39:00UTC+00Fxwirepro: Eur/usd Runs Out of Steam But Maintains Bullish Outlook

  • The EUR /USD pair declined on Thursday as dollar gained some ground after stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data put the focus back on a widely anticipated increase in overnight interest rates by the Federal Reserve.
     
  • New applications for U.S. jobless benefits unexpectedly fell last week and the number of Americans on unemployment rolls tumbled to a 28-1/2-year low, pointing to rapidly shrinking labor market slack.
     
  • Initial claims for state unemployment benefits decreased 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 232,000 for the week ended May 13, the Labor Department said. That pushed claims close to levels last seen in 1973.|
     
  • However, further downside is expected to be limited as the dollar presents negative tone on uncertainty over the outlook for the Trump presidency.
     
  • To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.1170, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.1200.
     
  • To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.1104, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.1043.
