Stock market today: S&P 500 ekes out gain as Trump says open to deals on tariffs
EUR/USD
The pair settled the session little changed as market participants refrained from making directional commitments ahead of the ECB meeting on Thursday when the President is expected to clarify finer details of the OMT. Draghi is also expected to reiterate that no bond purchases will be carried out until an official request for aid is made. In terms of technical levels, supports are seen at 1.2876 and then at the 200-DMA line at 1.2822. On the other hand, resistance levels are seen at 1.2968/90 and then at 1.3059.
GBP/USD
The pair settled lower, weighed down by weaker-than-expected PMI data, as well as the uncertainty surrounding the Euro zone and its bailout of Spain, which PM Rajoy continues to try and avoid. Safe-haven flows meant that the pair trended lower for much of the session. In terms of technical levels, supports are seen at 1.6065, 1.5987 and then at 1.5936. On the other hand, resistance levels are seen at the 21-DMA line at 1.6138 and then at the 10-DMA line at 1.6179.
USD/JPY
The pair settled higher, as investors continued to speculate on possibility of further easing by the BoJ. In addition to that, Japan finance minister said Japan will state JPY policy at G7 meeting and expects BoJ to implement bold measure as needed. In terms of technical levels, supports are seen at 78.13/00 and then at 77.91. On the other hand, resistance levels are seen at the 100-DMA line at 78.82 and then at 78.87.
