When are the Eurozone final CPIs and how could they affect EUR/USD?

Eurozone final CPIs estimate overview

Eurostat will publish the Eurozone's inflation final estimate for December at 10.00GMT today. Consumer prices are seen easing to 1.4% on a yearly basis, confirming the flash estimate. While the core figures are expected to edge lower to 0.9% versus 1.1% reported in the first readout.

On a monthly basis, the CPI figure for December is seen at 0.4% versus 0.1% previous while the core CPI is expected to a solid rebound to 0.4% versus -0.1% last.

This gauge is considered the Eurozone's most important inflation data because it's used as the central bank's inflation target.

Deviation impact on EUR/USD

Readers can find FX Street's proprietary deviation impact map of the event below. As observed the reaction is likely to remain confined between 10 and 40 pips in deviations up to 1.5 to -3, although in some cases, if notable enough, a deviation can fuel movements of up to 50 pips.

How could affect EUR/USD?

Karen Jones, Analyst at Commerzbank explains, “EUR/USD charted an inside day and has shot higher overnight. The new high has not been confirmed by the daily RSI and we would allow for a small pullback currently this is indicated to terminate circa 1.2150-1.2110. Beyond this, it remains on course to challenge the 1.2432 200-month ma. 
Support should be offered by the 1.2092 September high and the 20-day moving average at 1.2016 – the market will remain immediately bid above here.”
