EUR/USD Mid-Session Technical Analysis for October 14, 2019
The dollar rose against the Euro on Monday as safe-haven buyers returned after traders turned cautious about the progress being made toward an end to the U.S.-China trade dispute.
On Friday, the Euro was boosted by optimism that a trade deal could be reached when President Trump announced the two economic powerhouses had agreed to a ‘Phase One’ trade deal.

However, reports from China and Bloomberg News said China wants another round of talks with the U.S. before signing what President Donald Trump called a “very substantial phase one deal.” Bloomberg News first reported the news and said in its report that China also wants the U.S. to scrap a tariff hike scheduled for December.
With uncertainty over the deal being raised, investors turned to the safe-haven dollar for protection, leading to the weaker EUR/Usd.
