EUR/USD Price Forecast – EURO Rebounds From Overnight Decline
The EURUSD Pair yesterday saw slow downside price action across the day. Following sharp upward spike on dovish FOMC update, the EURUSD pair saw bulls consolidate for a short while post which the pair saw steady downside price action. European markets saw two major high impact events scheduled during the latter half of the day. Bank of England’s interest rate update & forward guidance update, EU leaders summit which was to decide on Brexit deadline extension. This caused investors to take on a cautious tone and hold back from placing any major bets. As the pair failed to sustain positive price rally on cautious investor stance, the price fell back to pre-FOMC levels.
