Euro area investor morale surprisingly slips in the latest Sentix survey as lockdown measures as woes surrounding the vaccine rollout weigh on sentiment.
The current situation index fell from -26.5 in January to -27.5 while the expectations index declined from an all-time high of 33.5 in January to 31.5 in the latest reading.
Sentix notes that:
"The lockdowns in may European countries are leaving their mark. As a result, the EU economy is losing touch with the other regions of the world, which are continuing their recovery course in the month of February."
Adding that broader sentiment was held back by the slow vaccine rollout across the EU and that the US is looking at a much stronger recovery path than Europe.
Further Development
Analyzing the current trading chart of Gold, I found that there is the upside movement and correction in creation but that you should watch for eventual downside opportuntiies.
My advice is to watch for selling opportunities on the rallies with the first downside targets at $1,810 and $1,786.
Stochastic is in overbought zone and got bear divergence, which is another indication that there is potential for the downside movement.
Key Levels:
Resistance: $1,830
Support levels: $1,810 and $1,786.
