June 9th – 13th
EURUSD pair closed last week’s trading session higher despite ECB’s rate cut of 0.25%. The central bank reduced interest rates by 0.25% as it was widely expected, although, the minutes that followed the interest rate decision and press conference, indicated that this was the end of ECB’s interest rate policy. The decision was taken hawkish by the markets and boosted demand for Euro. The lower European CPI was another factor behind Euro’s strong hold last week. From the US, the strong nonfarm payroll failed to boost demand for US Dollar as the trade war and Trump’s tariffs are still weighting negative on the US Dollar.
As for this week, traders and investors will mainly focus on the economic calendar. The two main catalyst behind this week’s trading session will be the US CPI and German CPI. There are no scheduled high impact events for the week, although traders and investors will need to pay attention on the US – Chinese deteriorated relation, not only trade war related but also on the geopolitical tensions surrounding Taiwan.
On the economic calendar we have on Wednesday, the US CPI pointing higher at 0.3% On Thursday, US producer price index expected lower at 3% On Friday, German harmonized index of consumer prices to remain steady at 2.1% and Michigan consumer sentiment expected higher at 53.5
