EURUSD: The Euro has fallen to meet the rising trend line support on Tuesday

Jim Langlands FX Charts

EURUSD: 1.1746

€/Usd has traded a mostly heavy session after the softer ZEW,/stronger US PPI undermined the Euro although the dollar then gave back some of its gains after headlines came through that Senator Rand Paul feels unable to vote for raising the US budget deficit. We now await the upcoming US CPI and the FOMC/ ECB meetings.

1 hour/4 hour indicators: Turning lower

Daily Indicators: Turning lower

Weekly Indicators: Neutral

Preferred Strategy: The Euro has fallen to meet the rising trend line support on Tuesday, but with the short term momentum indicators now aligning with the daily charts to point a little lower, it seems that we may be looking at further dollar strength ahead. The German/US CPI will be the main focus today, ahead of the FOMC, so a cautious stance is required, but a run below 1.1700 would not really surprise, where 1.1650 would be the next Fibo target.

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
