FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - As investors antecipate the outcome of the US ISM manufacturing PMI, expected to return to expansionary territory at 50.2, the EURUSD is rising back to its daily highs after testing for intraday support at 1.3235 during the European morning.
The US Markit manufacturing PMI is also expected to improve, from 52.8 to 53.2 in December. Before the US data, Germany will provide the preliminary CPI inflation report to investors at 13:00 GMT, presumed to remain unchanged at 1.9%.
"The higher low in July 2012 (compared to July 2010) and the recent new high above the strong resistance at 1.3172 suggest an improvement of the underlying trend", wrote MIG Bank analyst Bijoy Kar, favoring a bullish bias with strong resistance at 1.3487 (24/02/2012 high).
