EUR/USD Forecast: Euro could have a hard time clearing 1.0750

Following a consolidation phase at around 1.0700 in the Asian session, EUR/USD has regained its traction and climbed to a weekly highs above 1.0730 in the European morning. Although the positive shift witnessed in risk sentiment could help the pair keep its footing, investors could refrain from betting on a steady uptrend ahead of the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) policy announcements.

While testifying before the European Parliament on Monday, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde noted that they would have indicated that further rate hikes will be needed if there were no tensions in markets. She also repeated that inflation in the Eurozone is projected to remain too high for too long. These comments failed to trigger a noticeable market reaction but allowed the Euro to stay resilient against its major rivals.

Reflecting the upbeat market mood, Euro Stoxx 50 is up more than 1.5% in the early European session. Moreover, US stock index futures are up around 0.3%.

ZEW Survey's Economic Sentiment Index for Germany and the Eurozone will be featured in the European economic docket. The survey is forecast to reveal a deterioration in sentiment in March due to the Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse turmoil. In case the decline is more severe than expected, the Euro could lose some interest with the immediate reaction.

In the second half of the day, Existing Home Sales from the US will be looked upon for fresh impetus. As mentioned above, however, markets are unlikely to take large positions before the Fed's rate decision on Wednesday.
