EUR/USD: Some flattening around 1.0900 is likely – ING

ING economists expect some stabilization in EUR/USD after upbeat jobless claims numbers fueled the dollar’s rebound.

PMIs test positioning

Today’s PMI surveys will be a new opportunity for markets to gauge whether Eurozone growth sentiment has bottomed out.

From a currency perspective, the reaction to the November PMIs will tell us to what extent position squaring effects continue to influence EUR/USD. If a surprise in either direction were followed by an exacerbated move in EUR/USD despite thinner trading on Thanksgiving, then we would conclude that positioning imbalances persist. However, we think some flattening around 1.0900 is more likely.
