The PCE inflation report is scheduled for release at 12:30 GMT, on June 30. Previewing this publication, “the Federal Reserve watches PCE – so financial markets also examine it closely. The higher it goes, the greater the chance for further rate hikes and thus a stronger US Dollar. The Greenback would lose value against its peers on a lower read,” said FXStreet Analyst Yohay Elam.


EUR/USD gathered bullish momentum in June and climbed above 1.1000 before going into a consolidation phase. FXStreet Analyst Eren Sengezer offers a brief technical outlook for the pair and explains: 


“Following EUR/USD lackluster performance this week, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator on the daily chart declined to 50, highlighting a buildup of bearish momentum. Additionally, the pair was last seen trading near the 20- and the 50-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA) after having closed the last 10 trading days above those levels”


Eren also highlights the important technical levels for EUR/USD: “In case the pair turns south on a strong PCE inflation report, a daily close below 1.0850 (50-day SMA, 20-day SMA) could attract sellers. In that case, additional losses toward 1.0800 (psychological level, 100-day SMA) and 1.0700 (end-point of May-June downtrend) could be witnessed.”


“On the upside, 1.1000 (static level, psychological level) aligns as strong resistance before 1.1060 (end-point of March-May uptrend) and 1.1100 (2023-high).”
