Part 2/2: Looking at the recent developments in interest rate differentials, it looks like a small divergence has formed between the pair and German/US 2y yields. This could be a bearish sign in the short-term.
Part 1/2: Hi traders, the EUR/USD pair has another attempt to break above the 1.10 resistance on the daily chart, following a new sell-off in the US dollar and optimism about a joint EU recovery fund.

Here's a comparison between the S&P500 and the FTSE 100, although most other major indices could also be used (DAX, CAC, etc.) The FTSE is having difficulties to reach fresh marginal highs, which may provide some hints for today's S&P 500 open.

I'll keep the description short and in bullet points: 1) NEWS NARRATIVE The pound came under selling pressure the previous week after the UK announced there's not much progress in trade talks with the EU.

German and US 2-year yield differentials provide a contrarian signal to our other analysis results, which is another sign that traders need to be cautious with the pair. Gold (green, inverted), which trades a marginal record highs, keeps following the pair. Any USD strength could push gold price lower from current levels and cause a break below the daily support...
