Week Ahead February 12 – 16
EURUSD pair closed last week’s trading session unchanged on the lack of any high impact economic releases from both sides, Europe and the US. The scheduled FED and ECB officials’ speeches during last week did not generate any volatility as the language they used was the same and online with central banks’ monetary policy.
As for this week, traders and investors will mainly focus on the inflation numbers from both the US and Europe. The heavy economic calendar ahead will create some volatility and give the chance for opening new positions. FED and ECB officials are due to speak through the week although we do not expect this to affect the pair’s exchange rate.
On the economic calendar we have on Tuesday, the US Consume price index pointing lower at 3.8% On Wednesday, European gross domestic product unchanged at 0% On Thursday, US retail sales expected lower at -0.1% On Friday, US producer price index lower at 1.6% and Michigan consumer sentiment higher at 80
Technically the picture remains neutral after last week’s close above (38.2%) at 1.0784 In this week’s trading session if pair continues on the downside will test 1.0732 If resumes on the upside it will retest 1.0858 (50%) Our traders still long at 1.0861 and 1.0762 targeting profits at 1.1100 We are expecting more aggressive long positions on the way down and new short positions at 1.1100
