Week Ahead April 8th – 13th
EURUSD pair closed last week’s trading session marginally higher after a choppy trading week. The upside move was due to traders and investors pre-position ahead of nonfarm payroll release. Although the upside was short-lived as hawkish comments from FED’s officials sent some doubts in the markets whether FED will be cutting rates this year. On the European side the CPI release came softer than expected and add downside pressure on the pair as now investors and traders are pricing in a more dovish stance from ECB.

US CPI will be the most important catalyst for this week.
