EUR/USD awaits US ADP report

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/USD trades near 1.1220-1.1225 band, as it ran into offers above 1.1260 levels for the third session in a week.

Focus on ADP report

The pair now awaits the US ADP report, which is expected to show the private sector added 200K jobs in April, compared to 189K in March. The ADP report is followed by Friday’s April Non-farm payrolls report which is expected to show the US economy added 213K jobs compared to 126K additions seen in March.

The ADP report could influence the US-German benchmark bond yield spread and thereby lead to movement in the EUR/USD pair. Earlier today, the pair rose to a high of 1.1269 on mixed services PMI data, before heading back to 1.1120 on weak Eurozone retail sales print.

EUR/USD Technical Levels

The immediate resistance is seen at 1.1260, above which gains could be extended to 1.13. On the flip side, a break below 1.1188 (5-DMA), could push the pair down to 1.1110.

GBP/USD: Rebound stalls near 10-DMA

The GBP/USD rebounded from the low of 1.5149 on the back of an upbeat UK services PMI report, although the gains are once again being capped at its 10-DMA located at 1.5233.
