FXstreet.com (Edinburgh) -The EUR/USD has regained the 1.3600 handle on Thursday after core euro zone PMI prints were in general better than forecasts.
EUR/USD propped up by data
The pair saw a marginal improvement after the services PMI results in the euro area, France and Italy surprised investors in September while the German reading missed the median, it did better the previous month. Next on tap in the 17-nation bloc will be EMU’s retail sales, with consensus expecting a monthly gain of 0.2% in August. “The top of the range at 1.3570/90 offers a selling opportunity with stops above 1.3600. A break higher could then target 1.3630 & 1.3660”, suggested Sloyan Mihaylov, Analyst at DeltaStock.com.
