Euro
The focus is on the Germany and the Eurozone GDP. Leading indicators show a mixed pattern - a strong slowdown in industrial production and a reduction in personal consumption against the growth of net exports and employment. It is also necessary to note that the EU sanctions against Russia took in effect in the second quarter that is a negative moment for business and economics.
The official statistical showed that French GDP has not changed the second quarter in a row. Experts suggested that the economy would grow by 0.1 percent more. The worst than expected statistics added fears about what the economic recovery in the euro zone is losing impulse and pushed the ECB to take measures to promote economic growth after lowering interest rates in June to record low levels.
The support levels are 1.3330 - 1.3300, and the resistance levels are 1.3375 - 1.3400.

We expect the pair to be corrected upwards soon. The growth targets are 1.3375 and 1.3430.
