The pair found support in the recent US docket, with Durable Goods Orders dropping in line with market consensus around 18%; further data showed that Initial Claims rose to 293K in the week ending on September 19th although still below estimates at 300K. “For funds, in particular, we would look for a retest of yesterday’s high at 1.1122 and a close above that level to signal ongoing strength. On the downside, first support levels should be found around 1.1060 and further down around 1.1020/30”, observed Shaun Osborne, Chief FX Strategist at TD Securities.
