EURUSD heading towards 1.10!
Current Overview
EUR/USD is defensive below 1.0900 in the Asian session on Monday, edging lower amid risk aversion following the shooting incident at a Trump rally. This event has bolstered the US Dollar due to its safe-haven appeal. The pair's focus remains on US politics and upcoming statements from Federal Reserve officials.
Technical Analysis
Support Levels:
The first support is at 1.0840-1.0850.
Further support is at 1.0800.
Resistance Levels:
If EUR/USD rises above 1.0900 and confirms this level as support, it could target 1.0950 and then 1.1000.
Market Sentiment
US Inflation Data: Recent soft inflation data from the United States has put downward pressure on the US Dollar. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreased by 0.1% on a monthly basis, while core CPI increased by only 0.1%. Both readings were below market expectations, increasing the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of the Fed leaving the policy rate unchanged in September has declined to below 10% from over 20% before the CPI data release.
Additional Influences
US Political Climate: The recent incident during a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where former President Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt, has increased risk aversion and supported the US Dollar.
US Economic Data:
The Producer Price Index (PPI) rose to 2.6% year-on-year in June from the previous revised 2.4%, above the expected 2.3%. Core PPI increased to 3.0% year-on-year, surpassing the expected 2.5%.
The University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index dropped to 66.0 in July from 68.2 in June, missing expectations of 68.5. The UoM 5-year Consumer Inflation Expectations declined to 2.9% from the previous 3.0%.
Fed Outlook: Analysts from Fitch suggest that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) might cut interest rates sooner than expected due to concerns about the labor market. Fed officials are likely to be cautious about additional weaknesses in the labor market.
Eurozone Outlook: Eurozone officials expect pricing pressures to remain stable throughout the year, reducing expectations for further rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB). ECB President Christine Lagarde emphasized a cautious approach, highlighting uncertainties in the growth outlook.
