How to trade on July 13?
Risk-on is back on the market. Riskier currencies and stocks are in favor. Gold is rising too as investors try to hedge their risk investments. Moreover, the earnings season has started this week. It will make the stock market really volatile as it gives really important data about how companies have been performing amid the coronavirus outbreak. Today Pepsico will release its quarter earnings per share report. The forecast is 1.25. If the data comes better than expected, Pepsico will increase its value, otherwise – decrease. Most analysts believe that earnings per share can beat all estimates as most countries have already reopened. That in turn will improve the overall market sentiment and drive riskier assets further to the upside.
However, new virus cases continue increasing in the USA. Florida recorded the highest daily rise on Sunday since the coronavirus pandemic started. Investors shrugged off that news as there are optimistic developments on the coronavirus vaccine. For instance, human trials have begun in Australia in Queensland.

So, let’s look at the charts. EUR/USD is rising up, but it will meet soon the resistance at the 1.1345. If it crosses it, it will surge higher to the high of July 9 at 1.1366. Anyway, look for support levels at 1.1300 and 1.2690. The current risk-on mood will drive the pair upward in the short term. Nevertheless, be cautious as the USA imposed new tariffs on French imports in response to the French digital services’ tax. If the European-American tensions deteriorate, it may weigh on the Euro.
