EUR/USD Price Analysis: Remains consolidative below 1.0900

EUR/USD comes under pressure but remains bolstered by 1.0800.
Next on the upside emerges the key barrier at 1.0900 the figure.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

EUR/USD fades the initial test of the 1.0860 region and returns to the negative territory on Friday.

Extra range bound mood looks likely for the time being, while the surpass of the so far YTD top at 1.0887 (January 18) should rapidly allow a move to the round level at 1.0900.

While above the short-term support line near 1.0620, extra gains should remain in store for the pair.

In the longer run, the constructive view remains unchanged while above the 200-day SMA at 1.0307.

The decision passed by 8-1, with board member Takata dissenting in favour of an increase to 1.5%, while Governor Kazuo Ueda stressed that the Bank would continue adjusting policy as needed.

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions

The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
