EUR/USD focused on domestic data, US CPI

EUR/USD trades with gains for the second session in a row amidst the broad-based optimism in the risk complex and the renewed weakness hitting the buck ahead of the release of US inflation figures tracked by the CPI later in the NA session.

In the euro docket, Economic Sentiment in both Germany and the broader Euroland are due next seconded by Germany’s Current Account.

What to look for around EUR

EUR/USD manages to surpass the key 1.0800 barrier on the back of the persistent selling bias in the US dollar.

In the meantime, the pair’s price action is expected to closely mirror the behaviour of the US Dollar and will likely be impacted by any differences in approach between the Fed and the ECB with regards to their plans for adjusting interest rates.

Moving forward, hawkish ECB speak continues to favour further rate hikes, although this view appears to be in contrast to some loss of momentum in economic fundamentals in the region.
