Fundamental view
Industrial production in the euro zone probably rose 0.2% in February from the previous month, according to the median analyst’ estimate. In January, industrial output unexpectedly declined 0.1%. Industrial production is an indicator of the business cycle that shows the activity and development in the industry as a whole, by measuring the change in volume for a certain period of time. Information on industrial production is raised through special studies for EU members, which are called Prodcom. They cover between 5000 and 6000 products. The index measures the percentage change from the previous month.
A larger than expected increase in the industrial output would heighten the appeal of the euro. The official report is due out at 09:00 GMT on Monday.
Technical view
According to Binary Tribune’s daily analysis, in case EUR/CAD manages to breach the first resistance level at 1.5278, it will probably continue up to test 1.5310. In case the second key resistance is broken, the pair will probably attempt to advance to 1.5367.
If EUR/CAD manages to breach the first key support at 1.5189, it will probably continue to slide and test 1.5132. With this second key support broken, the movement to the downside will probably continue to 1.5100.
