28.09.2022
- Remarks by BOE Deputy Governor Kanrif of the UK
- Remarks by ECB President Lagarde
U.S. currencies rose during U.S. trading hours yesterday after the September Consumer Confidence Index came in above market expectations. The EUR/USD fell by about 100 pips from 0.9668 to 0.9569.During today’s Asian trading session, the pair hit a new low, touching 0.9544. However, since the 4-hour RSI for the EUR/USD pair is showing signs of divergence, we should remain cautious of a potential rebound.
Among European currencies, the pound—which experienced a flash crash at the start of the week—traded in a tight range against the U.S. dollar.Although GBP/USD rebounded by just under 200 pips from 1.0647 to 1.0836, it ultimately gave up all those gains and is showing further declines during today’s Asian trading session. Since the hourly RSI for GBP/USD rose to around 50 during the flash crash, traders should remain cautious of further downside.
