The EUR/USD parity, on the other hand, has stabilized at 1.0680 after hitting its highest level since April 25, 2022 (1.0795 today).

Analysts said risk perception remains strong due to an uncontrolled rise in cases after China lifted measures to combat a new type of coronavirus (Covid-19) in global markets, and noted that the macroeconomic data calendar, which will be intense for throughout the week, will have an impact on the direction of the markets.

Analysts who said the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data will be released today in Germany and the Eurozone said 104.4 is technically in a resistance position and 103 is in a support position for the dollar index.
