Euro


The EUR/USD keeps falling


The euro has completed the second month in a row in the minus due to the worsening situation in Ukraine. The single currency fell to 1.3131. Since early August, the euro has lost 1.6 percent and fell by 2.2 percent in July.


The Eurozone leading countries indices did not show a positive either- the Italy consumer confidence index fell in August for the third month in a row, this time to 101.9 from 104.4, while the France unemployed number increased by 0.8% in July compared to June, bringing the total number to the new record high of 3 424 400. Of course, these results could not provide the support for the euro.


Trading recommendations


We advise to short with the first target - 1.3110. When the pair consolidates below the first target, it can go to 1.3060.


Pound


The EUR/USD keeps falling


The Britain celebrated the bank holidays at the last week beginning. The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) reported the strong sales growth in August, as the indicator rose to 37 from 21, when it was expected to rise only to 27.


The pound/dollar remains in sideways consolidation that is likely to be continued due to the technical factors influence and the approaching Sunday holidays in anticipation that investors, as a rule, did not dispose to increase the risk.
