- Bostic (U.S.): Remarks by the President of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank
- U.S. Weekly Crude Oil Inventories
In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the Dollar Index rose above 101, making the dollar the strongest currency. The EUR/USD pair traded in a narrow range but fell from 1.082 to 1.076. However, it rebounded during today’s Asian trading session and has recovered to 1.081. Since the EUR/USD has broken above the 20-period moving average on the 4-hour chart, traders should watch for a potential rebound.
European currencies showed a slight downward trend against the Oceania currencies, with the EUR/AUD falling by about 110 pips from 1.467 to 1.455. Since the EUR/AUD is declining while being capped by the 20-day moving average on the daily chart, we will be watching closely to see if this gradual decline continues.
Today’s schedule includes: at 18:00 CET, Eurozone industrial production and trade balance; at 20:00 CET, the U.S. MBA mortgage applications index; at 21:30 ET, remarks by German Bundesbank President Nagel, the Canadian Consumer Price Index, and the Canadian House Price Index; at 23:00 ET, U.S. existing home sales and weekly crude oil inventories; and the U.S. Daily:Remarks by the President of the San Francisco Fed, at 00:30: Remarks by Evans, President of the Chicago Fed, and at 02:00: Remarks by Bostic, President of the Atlanta Fed. We will be watching the euro’s movements against the U.S. dollar.
