EURUSD gives up the morning European session gains and now tests for one more day the 1.12 mark. The correction from three-month highs continues while we might see an acceleration of the downward pressures in case the pair breaks below the 1.12 round figure.
Investors follow the European Council meeting as the EU leaders meet to discuss the details of the proposed €750bn coronavirus recovery fund. The recovery fund is designed to finance grants and loans to EU members to offset the coronavirus recession. Funds would be allocated according to the size of a member state’s economy, population, unemployment rate, and to make countries hit the hardest by the coronavirus crisis the primary beneficiaries. The fund is positive for the common currency, but traders have to be cautious as not all EU member states agree with the proposed structure of the fund. A disappointment from the EU meeting today might put some pressure on the common currency.
