EUR/USD drops below 1.0700 as French election uncertainty grows

  • The EUR /USD pair declined on Tuesday as the euro fell on nervousness ahead of the French elections and weak German industry data.
     
  • Weaker output in manufacturing and construction drove the biggest monthly drop in German industrial production in nearly eight years in December.
     
  • Industrial output fell by 3.0 percent on the month, Tuesday's data showed. This was weaker than prediction and far below the consensus forecast for a rise of 0.3 percent.
     
  • The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.0713 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0686, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0713.
     
  • To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0655, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0610.
