US Consumer Sentiment

Preliminary consumer sentiment data for June published by the University of Michigan showed sentiment edging above expectations, but down from May. The Consumer Sentiment Index decreased to a 94.3 from 94.7 last month. This was slightly higher than the 94 analyst were expecting, according to Thomson Reuters. The current conditions portion of the survey rose to 111.7 from 109.9 in May, which was the reason for the slight rise in overall sentiment. Consumers were more downbeat about the future, though. The Consumer Expectations Index fell to 83.2 from 84.9 in May.

Trade Idea

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the pair could be a good strategy if we get a valid bullish reversal candle on the daily chart.
