FONDAMENTAUX ET TECHNIQUES DE L'EUR/USD

Pair closed last week’s trading session marginally higher after recovering some lost ground from the dovish comments of ECB’s president Lagarde. The ECB increased rates by 0.75% on last week’s meeting, although, the comments from Christine Lagarde, saying that, it was premature to hike rates, were taken negative from markets and brought the pair lower. Few ECB’s officials save the currency after their hawkish comments that overshadowed Lagarde’s comments. ECB’s officials are highlighted that more rates will follow until inflation will come to its normal levels. This helped the pair to recover and close just on its crucial level of farther recovering.

As for this week market participants will mainly focus on the Inflation numbers from both continents. As both central banks are now focusing on inflation and energy crisis, the rest of economic releases will be having lower impact for now. Speeches from ECB’s officials are something to be monitor for clues of what’s next in the ECB. Price cap on Russian oil products is one of the most important decisions the EU is going to take as Russia is threatening to completely closing down any energy products supply to EU, something that will bring EU into chaos and most probable recession. Such scenario will have huge negative impact on Euro and could bring the pair into new lows.

Pair closed last week’s trading session higher on UK’s new PM Liz Truss energy plan. As per her promises, she is planning to help households on energy bills and reduce the bills to no more than 2,500 pounds per year for a normal size household. In addition to the above, pound had time for relief last week as there were not any high impact economic releases from the US.
