EUR/USD: A test of the March 7 low near 1.0805 is still in the cards – BBH

  


The euro bounced after the French election but remains heavy near 1.09. Economists at BBH note that the EUR/USD pair may test the March 7 low near 1.0805.

Run-off will be held between Macron and Le Pen

“Macron got 28% of the vote vs. 24% for Le Pen in the first round. One early poll shows Macron winning 54-46% in the second round, while another one is a lot closer at 51-49%. We warn of the so-called Bradley effect, which suggests that the polls will likely understate Le Pen’s support. If polls tighten up ahead of the runoff, we expect markets to become more jittery.”

“A break above 1.1050 is needed to signal a deeper correction towards the March 31 high near 1.1185.” 

“A test of the March 7 low near 1.0805 is still in the cards.”

When is the Canadian monthly jobs report and how could it affect USD/CAD?

Image
  Canadian employment details overview Statistics Canada is scheduled to publish the monthly employment details for July later this Friday at 12:30 GMT. The Canadian economy is anticipated to have added 20K jobs during the reported month, up sharply from the 43.2K decline reported in June. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is expected to edge higher to 5.0% in July from the 4.9% previous. Analysts at TD Securities (TDS) are more optimistic about the report and explain: “We look for job growth of 38k in July, driven by a partial rebound for trade services and natural resources after their sharp decline in June. Full-time hiring should lead the increase, while stronger labour force participation should keep unemployment stable at 4.9%. We also expect to see wage growth firm to 6.0% y/y in July, although AHE (Average Hourly Earnings) should slow on a m/m basis.”

yesterday's trading session, precious metal Gold had 1 day of decline from 1990 to 1950

  Comment on Gold on March 15, 2022: - In yesterday's trading session, precious metal Gold had 1 day of decline from 1990 to 1950, closing the day session with a bearish candle with quite strong force and Gold also dropped quite deeply at $121 in terms of price. from the "peak" of 2070, plus in the early morning of this morning Gold fell to the threshold of 1939, so it is not possible to exclude the possibility that Gold will bounce back and rebound. - On the daily chart, Gold is also touching a fairly wide support area and in my opinion the buying plan will be more reasonable than selling. In today's trading session, I expect Gold to recover and gain after a series of days of falling around the 1974 price level. If Gold can surpass this price range, it is likely to increas
