The EUR/USD currency pair has stabilized after a rather long decline. At the moment, investors have are waiting for the ECB meeting. Participants in financial markets have weakened forecasts for lowering interest rates by the Central Bank at the current meeting. At the same time, most experts believe that the regulator may pave the way for softening the monetary policy in the near future, as the growth of the eurozone economy slows down. We recommend to pay attention to the comments and rhetoric of the ECB. Additional pressure on the euro is driven by the weak reports on business activity for July in Germany and the EU. At the moment, the quotes are consolidating in the range of 1.11300-1.11500. Positions must be opened from these marks.
