Focus on US Retail Sales on Wednesday

By Content-mgr - on March 14, 2018

US Retail Sales unexpectedly contracted 0.1% MoM in February. The EUR/USD is off the highs near $1.2400 that it reached after the weak US retail sales report. The pair rebounds to the 1.2400 handle post-US data as EUR stays under pressure following Draghi’s dovish comments.

After bottoming out in the 1.2360 region, EUR/USD is now looking to regain the 1.2400 handle and above in the wake of disappointing data releases in the US docket. The USD/JPY recovers from the lows of ¥106.31 that it fell to after the weak retail sales. The USD is recovering across the board. Earlier, the US

Dollar suffered from the fears of more tariffs and a protectionist agenda following the ousting of Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State.

However, U.S. stock futures staged a recovery on Wednesday, pointing to a higher open on Wall Street. At 5:55AM ET (9:55GMT), the blue-chip Dow futures gained 91 points, or 0.36%, S&P 500 futures rose 8 points, or 0.30%, while the Nasdaq 100 futures traded up 30 points, or 0.42%.
