[EUR/USD] under persistent selling pressure since the EU open with negative Euro sentiment now outweighing the positive press directed towards the US. That said, there is still wide debate about positive from stimulus or an eventual large Usd slump with a lot of high profile press expressing very divergent opinion. Today though it is the EU that is feeling the pinch of soft PMI data, but more importantly a more rapid than expected drop in CPI. Deeper, larger scale rate cuts thus mulled from the ECB and on top of this chat of Russia repatriation weighing. This supplemented by the massive unwind of Eur/Gbp strength with this pair this also hit on talk of M&A flows which could potentially be linked to the EdF/British energy deal. EU corps & CBs have been steady buyers of the Eur/Usd dip, & with the vast bulk of stops done, the 1.3250 target may require specs to adopt shorts, but for now bears are in control.
