EURUSD managed to rebound in early European session after yesterday’s sharp losses but the booounce stalled at 1.1366. Euro rallied against the USD after the emergency rate cut by Fed last week. Traders now await the ECB policy decision tomorrow and the measures will announce to combat the coronavirus outbreak impact. ECB President, Christine Lagarde said the ECB policy makers are looking at all tools and actions, and particularly ones to provide “super-cheap” funding and ensure liquidity in the markets and that credit don’t dry up.
German Chancellor, Angela Merkel said that we must have a coordinated European economic response to the coronavirus situation and the target is to maintain economic life. She added that countries should not isolate each other in Europe and without vaccination, 60-70% of the population will be at risk.
Analysts now expect the coronavirus outbreak to pull the Eurozone into a recession. Italy will be the main problem for the euro in the upcoming months as the coronavirus outbreak drove Italian government to lockdown the entire country, in an already fragile economy and banking system.
