EUR/USD falls as inflation jumpsThe euro is showing limited movement today, after a two-day rally. In the European session, EUR/USD is trading at 0.9759, down 0.55%.
It has been a week of swings for the euro, which has traded in a 300-point range. The euro has been under strong pressure, and is down 2.5% in September, as the euro continues to drop further away from the psychologically-important parity line.
The number 10 is not at all pretty when referring to inflation, but that is today's story, as eurozone CPI jumped to 10.0% in August, up from 9.1% in July and above the consensus of 9.7%. This is the highest rate ever recorded since the euro was introduced back in 1999. Inflation is well supported, as all broad categories reflected price increases, and core inflation rose to 4.8%, up from 4.3% and higher than the 4.7% estimate. Germany, the powerhouse of the bloc, saw inflation accelerate even higher, to 10.9%.
The chief driver of soaring inflation is energy prices, which have skyrocketed as Russia has sharply reduced energy exports to Europe. The latest ominous development was a series of explosions at the Nord Stream pipelines this week. Although the pipeline system had already been shut down, the explosions, which were likely sabotage, have sent natural gas prices even higher.
The ECB showed up very late to the rate-tightening dance, and the current benchmark rate of 1.25% lags behind other central banks and will not have much impact on soaring inflation. The central bank appears to have little choice other than to deliver a second-straight rate increase of 0.75% at the October meeting.
With eurozone inflation hitting double digits and showing no sign of peaking, it is no surprise that confidence levels are sinking among consumers and businesses. The European Commission economic sentiment index slipped to 93.7 in September, down from 97.3 in August. German GfK Consumer Confidence fell to -42.5 in September, down from -36.8 in August, and lower than the consensus of -39.0 points. The economic picture in the eurozone is bleak, and the ailing euro will be hard-pressed to make any headway against the surging US dollar.
EUR/USD is testing support at 0.9554. Next, there is support at 0.9419
There is resistance at 0.9640 and 0.9711
ECB Gasping for air.European Central Bank (ECB) Chief Economist Philip Lane said on Wednesday that the current transition will require the ECB to continue to raise interest rates over the next several meetings, as reported by Reuters.
"Encouraging market intermediation of government deposits remains desirable in the long term."
"Most measures of longer-term inflation expectations currently stand at around 2%."
"If energy costs were to decline or demand were to weaken over the medium term, it would lower pressures on prices."
"Rate hike has been well transmitted to money market rates."
"Eurozone inflation drivers are of a different nature compared to demand-driven overheating dynamics."
"The appropriate monetary policy for the euro area should continue to take into account that the energy shock remains a dominant driving force."
"Inflation dynamics associated with the energy shock component, to which the euro area is particularly exposed, are of a different nature compared to demand-driven overheating dynamics."
EUR/USD is struggling to preserve its recovery momentum after this report and was last seen gaining 0.25% on the day at 0.9995.
EUR/USD Daily Chart Analysis For September 23, 2022Technical Analysis and Outlook:
On Sep 21, Eurodollar completed our Inner Currency Dip 0.9820 as specified on ''Daily Chart Analysis For September 16''. The following Sep 22 & 23, the currency took the lead to head to our currently active Inner Currency Dip of 0.9570. The interim rebound to our Mean Res 0.9835 is a possibility. Continuation to the next Outer Currency Dip 0.9370 is in the making.
Short Spain/Ibex 35So... the Spanish market has actually OUTPERFORMED all the other european indiced in the past year and actually YTD:
www.investing.com --> "Performance"
that makes no sense... a country/economy which were on the edge of bankrupcy in the last financial crisis.
Why has this economy outperformed all the other eonomies? it makes no sense .
IMO a short position for the rest of the year (if needed) should be in order.
As soon as the ECB raises the interest rates, just watch Spain (and Italy for that matter) it will go down and struggle like all the southern european countries has done for ages.
Nothing has changed - it will happen.
EUR/USD Daily Chart Analysis For September 16, 2022Technical Analysis and Outlook:

The currency continues to move about the 1.000 threshold by closing slightly above the newly created Mean Sup 0.9970. The Key Sup 0.9880 and our open Inner Currency Dip 0.9852 continue to be the main target, with further expansion to the Next Inner Currency Dip 0.9570 and the lower mark is in the making.

Euro climbs to 3-week highThe euro is red hot, having gained close to 2% in just two days. EUR/USD is trading at 1.0144, up 0.97% on the day.
The ECB showed last week that its hawkishness was not limited to words, as the central bank delivered a massive 0.75% rate hike, for only the second time in its history. The markets are paying attention, and the move has triggered an impressive rally by the euro. The ECB sent a powerful message that it is committed to curbing inflation by raising rates, even at the risk of a recession. President Christine Lagarde said at the meeting that she expected three or four more hikes, and the markets have priced in 0.50% increases at the October and December meetings.
The economic outlook in the eurozone remains grim, with PMIs pointing to weakness in manufacturing and business activity. Russia has shut down the Nord Stream 1 pipeline which supplies gas to Germany, raising fears that the eurozone countries could face an energy shortage this winter. It should not come as a surprise that confidence levels are weak. The ZEW Economic Sentiment index remains mired in a deep freeze, and slowed to -60.0 in July, down from -55.5 in September.
Has US inflation peaked? We'll get a look at US CPI for August, with the markets expecting inflation to fall to 8.1%, down from 8.5% in July. Following the unexpected drop in July's inflation release, market exuberance that the Fed would make a U-turn on its aggressive tightening sent the equity markets up and the US dollar sharply. The Fed has remained consistent with its stance and the markets appear to have internalized that the tightening cycle has some more room to run. The markets have priced in a 75 basis point hike at the meeting on September 21st. Tuesday's inflation report will be doubly important, as it marks the final economic release before tomorrow's meeting. If inflation hits 8.1% or higher, it would likely cement a 75bp move by the Federal Reserve.
EUR/USD has support at 1.0107 and 1.0008
There is resistance at 1.0152 and 1.0257
EURUSD | ECB - Interest Rate! How can it affect the EURUSD?EURUSD | ECB - Interest Rate! How can it affect the EURUSD?
As we have seen during this period of time EUR is suffering a lot of
losses.
And to be honest Europe it is not the only economy that is suffering the
economic problems.
However as all the countries EUROPE will take the second step to help on
this economic recovery.
Considering the Monetary policy statement it will be crucial for this even.
The first move should or expectations should help the price to reach the first target.
For the other targets we should see how aggressive ECB should be today.
Thank you and Good Luck!
USD Index Hits ResistanceUSD Index is coming impulsively higher in the 4-hour chart after a three-wave A-B-C correction in wave IV back in August, so the current recovery is a new five-wave rise. But it's a fifth wave that can be now in late stages here at 110 - 111 area. Divergence and potential wedge formation also suggest that the upside can be limited. Drop below 108.00 will suggest that the top is in place, at least a attemporary one. Also, the current DXY has a lot to do with EURUSD of course, which for now stayed about the recent low as European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde noted that they are ready for further hikes on upcoming meetings, taking the deposit rate into neutral territory.
EURUSD before ECB Today ECB will increase the interest rates. This is the only certain thing.
It's more important by how much and also when will they do it again.
Any moves on EURUSD will be based on this information.
If you're looking for the best setups only then it's probably best to wait for the news and then look for positions!
We are expecting for price to continue lower in the long term but it's also possible to see spikes around 1,0100 in the short term.
A new low on EURUSD Yesterday we saw a new low on EURUSD after price rejected the 0,9976-0,9996 zone.
While the downside move is still active, we will continue selling. The next target remains at 0,9800.
Tomorrow we have ECB Interest Rates decision.
Until then the move will probably slow down and there won't be that many new positions being opened.
We will expect bigger moves during and after the news.
Euro dips as 0.75% ECB hike in questionEUR/USD slipped to a new 20-year low earlier today, falling to 0.9864. Currently, the euro is trading at 0.9910, down 0.20%.
Eurozone government yields fell sharply today on reports that the ECB may decide to scale down an expected 75 basis point hike on Thursday. This has pushed the euro to a new 20-year low earlier today, as the currency remains under pressure.
There have been broad expectations that the ECB, which has been lagging behind most central banks in tightening policy, would deliver a 0.75% rate hike, but apparently, ECB policy makers may be looking at scaling the hike to just 0.60%. The markets are currently pricing in a 67% chance of a 75bp move, sharply lower than the almost 90% likelihood earlier today. We could see the pricing continue to fluctuate as we get closer to the meeting, with investors looking for clues as to how high the ECB will hike.
High inflation isn't going anywhere, and the ECB will need to drastically tighten if interest rates are to curb inflation. At the same time, the eurozone economy is weak, and the German locomotive has also slowed down. If the ECB raises rates too aggressively, the economy could tip into a recession.
Germany Factory Orders for July, released today, served as a grim reminder that the manufacturing sector remains in trouble. The reading of -13.6% YoY follows a decline of 9.0% in June (-6.0% est). In the eurozone, economic releases are sounding the alarm. PMIs are indicating contraction in manufacturing and business activity, retail sales are down and investor confidence remains mired deep in negative territory. With no indication that things will improve anytime soon, the euro could continue to lose ground.
EUR/USD is testing resistance at 0.9984. The next resistance line is 1.0056
There is support at 0.9888 and 0.9816
EURUSD: Gains should be limited!EURUSD
Intraday - We look to Sell at 0.9992 (stop at 1.0042)
The medium term bias remains bearish. We are assessed to be in a corrective mode higher. Reverse trend line resistance comes in at 0.9995. We therefore, prefer to fade into the rally with a tight stop in anticipation of a move back lower.
Our profit targets will be 0.9881 and 0.9850
Resistance: 1.0000 / 1.0325 / 1.0800
