The EUR/USD rebounded on Monday from the 10 weeks lows as the U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI plumed. The actual figure showed 51.3 which would be the lowest result since June 2013. This number is very disappointing but might be caused by bad weather and not by weaker economy. The pair is rebounding to 1.3540 level where we can find Fibonacci retracement. Today the only relevant economic data for the EUR/USD will be the U.S. Factory Orders which will be released at 3.00PM (GMT)
The GBP/USD pair continued its fall on Monday and lost more than 100 pips. Currently the pair is ranging around 1.6275 area – the lowest since December 17th. The pair strongly reacted on the U.K. Manufacturing PMI data which came out below expectation. Despite the fact that the U.S. Manufacturing data showed even worse result the pair remained bearish. Today we should pay attention to the U.K. Construction PMI which will be posted at 9.30AM (GMT). The expectation is to see 61.6 which is lower than previous result.
The USD/JPY broke its support at 101.80 and fell all the way to 100.75. The pair was driven by worse-than-expected U.S. data and by soft performance of U.S. stocks. Yen as a safe-haven currency has been adding some profits and climbed to its 10-weeks highs but now we might see some technical price correction up after the drop. Today we should pay attention to U.S. Factory Orders which will be posted at 3.00PM (GMT). Trend is slightly bearish but might change soon as it is bouncing on its support.
