EUR/USD Mid-Session Technical Analysis for October 1, 2020

The Euro is trading higher against the U.S. Dollar on Thursday as robust U.S. data and hopes for U.S. fiscal stimulus left investors confident enough to seek out riskier currencies.

Helping boost the Euro the previous session were jobs figures that showed U.S. private employers stepped up hiring more than forecast last month and that Midwest manufacturing grew faster than expected.

Meanwhile, Republican President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed a coronavirus stimulus package to House Democrats worth more than $1.5 trillion, and hopes are rising that both parties will reach a compromise.

At 11:48 GMT, the EUR/USD is trading 1.1761, up 0.0039 or +0.33%.

In other news, the recovery in Euro Zone manufacturing activity gathered pace last month but it was largely driven by strength in powerhouse Germany, and rising coronavirus cases across the region may yet reverse the upturn, a survey.

Surging demand after the initial relaxation pushed IHS Markit’s final Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index to 53.7 in September from August’s 51.7, in line with an earlier flash reading and its highest level since August 2018.
