EURUSD consolidates to two-week highs after the three days rebound from the 1.0778 lows. Yesterday the USD was under selling pressure after weak consumer confidence data. The US Consumer Confidence Index for February dropped to 130.7 below the expectations of 132. Also yesterday reported that the Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index came in at -2 below the forecasts of 13 in February.
The pair last week hit 34-month lows after a series of negative economic data from EU and especially from Germany. A positive surprise came from February’s Manufacturing PMI. The Manufacturing PMI came in at 47.8, topping the expectations of 44.8. The PMI signals modest growth of the German economy despite the recent slump in exports. The manufacturing sector in Germany moved closer to stabilization, with the data indicating a slower fall in output, employment and new orders.
