Key quotes
"EUR’s muted reaction to weaker than expected Eurozone July inflation indicates the currency may have reached oversold territory."
"Investors’ expectations for a constructive payrolls reading have been rising on the back of the most recent better than expected growth data."
"However, given high expectations it will be difficult to drive US short-term rates higher unless data surprises considerably higher."
"As a result to the above outlined conditions we argue against selling EUR/USD around the current levels. From a broader angle, however, rallies may still prove a sell."
