Wednesday, March 29, 2017 3:00 PM UTC
- The EUR /USD pair declined on Wednesday as the dollar rose on the Brexit development, building on gains from a day earlier, while uncertainty regarding trade policies between the EU and Britain weakened euro.
- Investors awaited comments from a host of Federal Reserve officials for clues on the number of interest rate hikes this year.
- Chicago Fed President Charles Evans, who has consistently been dovish on interest rates, said he supported one or two more hikes this year as the U.S. economy improves.
- Boston President Eric Rosengren and his San Francisco counterpart, John Williams, are due to speak later in the day.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.0796 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 1.0759, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0796.
- To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0720, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0672.
