Trading recommendations for EUR / USD on August 28

Analysis of transactions

Price decreased no more than 15 points yesterday, after which it reversed and rose sharply in the market. The increase came after the speech of Fed chairman Jerome Powell, who announced changes in the central bank's monetary policy. It rose the price about 40 points.

Today, attention should be given to the upcoming data on the French economy, as it could support the euro in rising in the market. The upcoming data on US income and expenses that is scheduled to be published in the afternoon may also further weaken the dollar and raise the rate of the European currency.
