With both Eurozone CPI and U.S. NFP reports scheduled for release, you can bet that I’m looking at EUR/USD this week! The pair is trading just above the 1.0700 psychological handle, which isn’t surprising since we just saw a doji and the inflection point lines up with a trend line support that EUR bears have been respecting since December last year. In this case, the trend line (or ascending channel) support is also around the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of March’s upswing. The cherry on top of this sweet bullish play is a bullish divergence on the daily time frame. EUR/USD…

Share: USD/CAD holds lower ground during two-day retreat from monthly high. Bearish MACD signals add strength to pullback moves targeting previous resistance line. Loonie pair’s recovery needs validation from April’s peak. USD/CAD remains mildly offered near 1.3600 as it defends the previous day’s U-turn from a one-month high during Monday’s sluggish Asian session, especially amid the holidays in the US. That said, the Loonie pair’s latest weakness justifies its inability to cross a two-month-old descending resistance line, around 1.3650 by the press time. Adding strength to the downside bias are the bearish MACD signals. With this, the USD/CAD…

REUTERS/Erin Scott//File Photo WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The budget deal struck by President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to end a debt-limit crisis should not change the short-term abilities of tax collectors, according to White House officials. The deal would shift $10 billion each in fiscal years 2024 and 2025 in funding away the Internal Revenue Service, but officials believe the IRS can make due in the near term since they were funded over a 10-year period. They may need to…

Chip Somodevilla The debt ceiling agreement that was reached late Saturday “prevents the worst possible crisis, a default,” President Joe Biden said. The deal is a compromise, he said during a short press briefing on Sunday evening. “Nobody got everything that they want.” The agreement protects key priorities that “Democrats and I have worked long and hard for,” Biden said. “I strongly urge both chambers to pass that agreement,” he added. Earlier on Sunday U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he believed that a majority of Republicans would support the agreement. And even before today’s press briefing, President Biden said…
