It seems that the QE is expected to be shut down only if the unemployment rate will drop to 6.5% or if the inflation rate will rise 0.5% above the medium target. Keeping in mind that the United States has an unemployment rate at 7.4% we can say that it might take a while until the end of the program or at least until the tapering. On Thursday the unemployment claims surprised with a value of 326K (under estimates) while on Friday the Non-Farm Payrolls came at 162K, with 20K lower than the forecast.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday the ECB maintained the interest rate a record low 0.50%. The main ideas from Draghi\u2019s press conference were: \u00a0the ECB will continue to keep low interest rates and high liquidity, will keep the door open for new rate cuts and forecast a slow recovery at the end of the year and in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The latest economic releases for the Euro Area were mainly above expectations: a lower unemployment rate, higher PMIs for both manufacturing and services sectors and better industrial production for Germany.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/investazor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/eurusd-symmetrical-triangle-on-upper-line-06.08.2013.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1381\" alt=\"eurusd-dragged-towards-1.34-06.07.2013\" src=\"http:\/\/investazor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/eurusd-dragged-towards-1.34-06.07.2013.png\" width=\"645\" height=\"331\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chart: EURUSD, Weekly<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the EURUSD we can see that the pressure is now on the upper line of a symmetrical triangle. Last week was a Doji candle above 1.3200. If this week will close above 1.3345, last week\u2019s high we might see a rally toward 1.34 or why not even higher to 1.35.
