EUR/USD Weekly Forecast: 27th May to 31st May

The forex world is receiving mixed signals from Germany (the largest economy of euro-zone). It failed to print satisfactory level of both services and manufacturing PMI.

It is expected to increase further to 110 points.
US Federal Reserve’s decision about its Quantitative Easing Program (QE) will be another major fundamental impact that EUR/USD will be undergoing.
