Bond yields didn\u2019t close the day up, but the growth that did occur led to the opening of long positions on the dollar. During the European session, the euro corrected to 1.1399, before dropping to 1.1361 during trading in the US.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Day\u2019s news (GMT+3):<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10:00 Germany: industrial production (Dec).<\/li>\n<li>10:45 France: trade balance (Dec).<\/li>\n<li>11:00 Switzerland: foreign currency reserves (Dec).<\/li>\n<li>11:30 UK: Halifax house prices (Jan).<\/li>\n<li>12:00 Eurozone: economic bulletin.<\/li>\n<li>15:00 UK: BoE interest rate decision, BoE asset purchase facility, BoE quarterly inflation report.<\/li>\n<li>16:30 US: initial jobless claims (1 Feb).<\/li>\n<li>23:00 US: consumer credit change (Dec).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alpari.com\/storage\/inline-images\/eur_070219_0.png\" alt=\"EURUSD hourly chart\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"41b5e90e-44a0-460a-9f6e-fc0385de3bab\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Current situation:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday\u2019s market expectations were met in full.

Shorting the euro around this level is very risky. If you do, I advise reducing the risk on the trade because the chances of a correction here are relatively high. I think it better to sell after the rebound. In my forecast, I\u2019m predicting a correction to 1.1375\/77, followed by a drop to close the day at 1.1340.<\/p><div id=\"inves-1877769549\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<p>My forecast shows a reversal occurring overnight on the 8<sup>th<\/sup> of February.
