Forex: EUR/USD tumbles down to 1.3200

The EUR/USD rallied ahead ofEMU’s confidence data to print its high at 1.3263, but very poor figures saw risk sentiment clearing out. The pair tumbled down, retracing its daily gains back to the opening price at 1.3218 first. 




A new wave of selling pressure threw the cross towards the psychological level at 1.3200, where the EUR/USD is now currently testing as support.

On the upside, double-Fibonacci barrier at 1.3230/40 zone and daily high at 1.3263 might be seen as resistance. “On the downside, 1.3170/50 zone offers good support, with break here to weaken short-term structure”, wrote Windsor Brokers analyst Slobodan Drvenica.

The HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), compiled by Markit, rose to 54.9 in April from 54.7 in March. 

The index has remained above the 50-mark that divides growth from contraction for more than three years. 

"Activity in the manufacturing sector expanded at a slightly faster pace in April. While output growth moderated ... new orders continued to pour in, including for exports," said Leif Eskesen, chief economist for India & ASEAN at HSBC.
