- EU February Industrial Production contracted 1.6% YoY, missing expectations.

- EUR/USD is pressuring monthly highs and ready to test the 1.2000 threshold.
The EUR/USD pair reached 1.1973, its highest since mid-March, holding nearby heading into the US opening. The dollar remains weak amid easing US Treasury yields and the poor performance of equities. Worth noting that global stocks have been lacking directional strength this week, waiting for a fresh catalyst.

The US has just published the March Import Price Index, which rose 1.2% MoM and the Export Price Index for the same month that was up by 2.1%, both beating the market’s expectations. Later today, US Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell is due to speak at the Economic Club of Washington via satellite.
