InvestAZ analysts also disclosed the data on the situation in international financial markets and short-term forecasts.
Euro
China disclosed the preliminary negative indicators on Feb. 29 amid the economic consequences of coronavirus on international currency exchanges.
As a result of current expectations, the EUR / USD exchange rate began to decline and may again fall in price to $1.09.
From this point of view, this week, special attention will be paid to the important fundamental indicators of business activity in the industrial and service sectors of the US and the Eurozone.
The inflation indicators from the Eurozone will be disclosed on March 3 at 14:00, while labor market indicators on March 6 at 17:30. These indicators will also play a special role.
This also increases the likelihood of reducing interest rates in other countries and the Fed rate.
British pound
GBP / USD exchange rate is also under pressure as a result of the expectations that trade negotiations between the UK and the EU will be held in terms of tough statements. In accordance with the analysis, if the price of one British pound remains below $1.29, then it may become cheaper to $1.26.
Turkish lira
The Turkish lira continues to fall in price and in accordance with the analysis the USD / TRY exchange rate may go up to 6.33 Turkish liras per $1.
