When there are no arguments
The pair was depressed by the yesterday’s Mortgage data, but not immediately. The market was slow to realize that the last argument in favor of earlier tightening is gradually disappearing, as there are no signs of overheating housing market so far. Besides, another factor of pressure is strengthening USD, and this trend may go on, provided today we may get another bunch of better that expected reading out of the USA. The downside for the pair may be limited by 1.6919 support level.
