The euro and the pound appreciated against their major
counterparts in the European session on Monday, as a surprise
decision by major oil producers to cut oil production sparked a
rally in oil prices.
Oil prices jumped after Saudi Arabia and other major oil
producers said they will cut production by 1.15 million barrels per
day from May until the end of the year.
The OPEC said the production cut was a "precautionary" move
aimed at supporting the stability of the oil market.
The surge in oil prices overshadowed optimism over a slowdown in
the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of core inflation in
February.
Brent crude oil recorded a jump of over 6%, rising $4.91 to
$84.8 per barrel.
The euro rose to 144.88 against the yen, 1.0871 against the
greenback and 0.9955 against the franc, from an early 4-day low of
143.62, 1-week low of 1.0788 and a 6-day low of 0.9903,
respectively. The euro may find resistance around 149.00 against
the yen, 1.10 against the greenback and 1.05 against the franc.
The euro climbed to 1.4649 against the loonie and 1.7399 against
the kiwi, off an early more than 2-week low of 1.4578 and a 5-day
low of 1.7299, respectively. Next near term resistance for the
currency is likely seen around 1.48 against the loonie and 1.76
against the kiwi.
In contrast, the euro fell sharply against the aussie, touching
nearly a 2-week low of 1.6078. If the euro weakens further, 1.59 is
possibly seen as its next support level.
The pound edged up to 1.2371 against the greenback and 164.85
against the yen, reversing from its previous 1-week low of 1.2274
and a 4-day low of 163.42, respectively. The currency is seen
facing resistance around 1.27 against the greenback and 168.00
against the yen.
The pound advanced to 0.8779 against the euro and 1.1339 against
the franc, up from an early low of 0.8806 and a 6-day low of
1.1253, respectively. The currency is poised to find resistance
around 0.86 against the euro and 1.15 against the franc.
Looking ahead, U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI for March and
construction spending for February are set for release in the New
York session.
