Many downside risks should see EUR/USD bounces sold
Oct 15 (Reuters) -EUR/USD turned positive after striking a 2-month low Tuesday but downside risks remain and appear to be intensify, which could make rallies selling opportunities for investors who missed the sharp fall off September's high.
Influences from German-U.S. yield spreads US2DE2=RR and terminal rate spreads for the Fed SRAM26 and ECB FEIZ5 are key downside risks.
The dollar's yield advantage over the euro is increasing while short-term rates markets trade terminal rate spreads at the widest in 5-months.
Persistent economic weakness from China, a major euro zone trading partner, reinforces EUR/USD's downside risks.
China's September pricing and trade reports indicated economic growth struggles continue. Slumps in Chinese equity .SSEC, .HSI markets and commodities DCIOc2HGv1 reinforce concerns China's economy is in trouble.
Dour China growth prompted OPEC to cut estimates for China's crude oil demand for the third straight month.
Oil LCOc1 price drops on the back of weak China demand may diminish inflation concerns in the euro zone, which could lead the ECB to cut more aggressively than is expected.
Technicals highlight downside risks and may prompt investors to sell rallies.
Falling monthly RSI and EUR/USD's hold below the 5-DMA and daily cloud are bearish signs.
Rally sellers may be lurking as a break below the 200-DMA and 1.0775-1.0800 support could be in the cards.
