Thursday, June 2, 2016 5:06 PM UTC
- The EUR/USD pair declined to post daily lows in the American session after European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi said the bank made only marginal upward adjustments to its inflation projections.
- The euro fell broadly after the market perceived those upward adjustments as rather dovish, a move that helped the dollar outperform against the single currency.
- Currently the pair is trading around 1.1156 levels, it is set to decline further towards 1.1100 and later towards 1.1055 levels in the short term.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.1231, a break above will take the pair towards next resistance level at 1.1291.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen 1.1123 levels, a break below will open gates towards 1.1094 levels.
