Analysis and Recommendations:
The EUR/USD is down at 1.2481 and falling as investors sentiment turning negative on Spain and worries about the quick approaching Greek elections.
The euro had seen a recovery yesterday after the Spain’s bailout news hit the market on the weekend. As expected it was a short lived rebound in the currency against its major peers, as the bailout was a sign that the euro zone debt crisis is deepening. The bailout of Spain does not rule out risk of Greece or any other country leaving the euro zone. Investors will be anxiously waiting for the re-elections in the Greece which are scheduled for this weekend. The outcomes of the election will probably give a new direction to the euro. Support is at 1.2410 levels, and the resistance is near 1.2647 (recent high).
Market mood in trade remained rather subdued as unease over Spain’s weekend bailout lingered on. Into the twilight session, IMF chief Christine Lagarde is all set to speak on sustainable economic future in Washington; her comments would be keenly looked at in the context of state of world economy. With elections in Greece due in almost a week’s time, markets would be hoping for a desirable outcome to rejuvenate their scruffy sentiments. An uncanny outcome of the elections could throw up markets into a state of doldrums and periods of long liquidation. After ditching hopes of a QE3 last week, Federal Reserve is all set to take a centre stage with much anticipated FOMC meeting slated for 19th-20th June. With FOMC meeting scheduled at the backdrop of Greek election results, financial markets could be in for a twist. With U.S economy showing signs of stagnation off-late pertaining to series of muddled economic numbers, all eyes this week would be on the Retail sales and Industrial production numbers to instigate recuperation. With Chinese economy going through a lean patch, commodity market would be demanding soothing comments over the state of the economy incoming days, to re-ignite investor’s battered sentiments.
