EURUSD Futures – Euro Area in Profit
Reuters — In a remarkable turnaround, the Euro Area, a group of countries that use the Euro as their currency, reported a current account surplus of EUR 30.67 billion in August 2023. This is a significant improvement from the same period in the previous year when the region faced a deficit of EUR 26.57 billion.
The surplus was primarily driven by a positive shift in the goods account, which swung from a deficit of EUR 30.99 billion last year to a surplus of EUR 25.48 billion this year. This indicates that the Euro Area countries successfully exported more goods than they imported during this period.
In addition, the secondary income deficit decreased, falling to EUR 12.22 billion from EUR 14.19 billion. Secondary income typically includes transfers like pensions and workers’ remittances.
However, it wasn’t all positive news. The services surplus slightly declined, falling to EUR 12.38 billion from EUR 13.09 billion. Similarly, the primary income surplus, which includes earnings from investments such as interest and dividends, also narrowed slightly to EUR 5.04 billion from EUR 5.52 billion.
Despite these minor setbacks, the overall picture for the January-August period was positive. The Euro Area posted a current account surplus of EUR 130.05 billion, marking a significant improvement from the deficit of EUR 80.18 billion recorded during the same period in 2022.
This economic turnaround signals a robust recovery for the Euro Area economies and bodes well for future financial stability.
EURUSD Technical Analysis
The EURUSD currency pair has been downward since July 17th, extending to a low of around 1.0493 in January 2023. This decline was triggered by the EURUSD bears’ breakout of the bearish channel. Currently, the pair is trading within the Ichimoku cloud, and a hammer candlestick pattern was observed two weeks ago near the support zone. Given that the stochastic oscillator is in the oversold area on the weekly chart, we might see a correction or reversal in the EURUSD futures price.
