Euro has the potential to rise but it is not easy to reach
The Euro currency is trying to rise again, taking advantage of the weakening of the US currency. However, experts are worried that these efforts will end unsuccessfully.
Throughout the previous week, the euro was behind the dollar, which reacted sensitively to any nuances of the market. Such changes in the USD dynamics include the May report on US employment. It can be noted that the national currency started to slip after its publication, and the euro tried to take advantage of the situation, but it failed to noticeably rise. According to current macroeconomic data, the number of jobs outside of agriculture increased by 559 thousand last month in American, and the economy recorded an influx of workers. The improvement in the economic situation has been facilitated by health gains resulting from large-scale vaccination against COVID-19, and strong fiscal incentives. However, there is a question recently about their curtailment, which was raised by Fed representatives.
Economists believe that the euro's further dynamics will be influenced not only by the Fed's actions but also by the ECB's monetary policy strategy. They think that with the strengthening of the "hawkish" tone on the part of the regulator, the euro will start losing positions. If the representatives of the Governing Council of the ECB slow down the pace of buying up state bonds under the PEPP program, then the indicated currency will begin to decline.
The continuation of the current trend contributes to the growth of the EUR/USD pair. Its nearest target is the level of 1.2300. On the morning of, June 7, the main currency pair was trading near the 1.2163 mark, trying to reach 1.2200, but failed.
According to experts, the bullish mood in the EUR/USD pair may increase in the current situation, if a strong resistance level near the level of 1.2167 is broken. If so, the pair will open the way to the round level of 1.2200, and to 1.2212 and 1.2258 in the future. The next barrier for the EUR/USD pair will be the level of 1.2300, which can be reached anytime soon.
