When is the German IFO survey and how it could affect EUR/USD?

The German IFO Business Survey overview

The German IFO survey for February is due for release later today at 0900 GMT. The headline IFO Business Climate Index is seen a tad weaker at 95.3 versus 95.9 previous.

The Current Assessment sub-index is seen arriving at 98.6 this month, while the IFO Expectations Index – indicating firms’ projections for the next six months – is likely to come in at 92.2 in the reported month vs. 92.9 last.

Deviation impact on EUR/USD

Readers can find FX Street's proprietary deviation impact map of the event below. As observed the reaction is likely to remain confined between 3 and 40 pips in deviations up to 2.4 to -3.2, although in some cases, if notable enough, a deviation can fuel movements of up to 60 pips.

How could affect EUR/USD?

According to Haresh Menghani, Analyst at FXStreet, “From a technical perspective, the pair managed to rebound from support marked by the lower end of over one-year-old descending trend-channel. Meanwhile, the attempted recovery faltered ahead of the 1.0870-75 intermediate resistance zone, which should now act as a key pivotal point for short-term traders. Above the mentioned hurdle, a fresh bout of a short-covering move now seems to assist the pair to surpass the 1.0900 round-figure mark.”

“On the flip side, bearish traders are likely to wait for a sustained break below the trend-channel support, currently near the 1.0775-70 region. A convincing breakthrough will confirm a fresh bearish breakdown and the pair then might accelerate the fall further towards testing the 1.0700 round-figure mark,” Haresh adds.
