In U.S. currency trading the previous day, the U.S. dollar fell against the euro as the March Consumer Price Index rose 5.0% year-over-year. The EUR/USD pair rose by just over 90 pips, from 1.0911 to 1.1005, hitting a new high for the month.Since the EUR/USD pair continues its uptrend, supported on the downside by the 20-day moving average (MA), traders should remain cautious to see if further gains will materialize heading into the weekend.
Among European currencies, the euro rose slightly against the yen. The euro/yen pair rose from 145.786 to 146.665. The rally came after the 4-hour RSI exceeded 70 and reached 75.4.On the daily chart, while the euro/yen pair has risen for five consecutive days, the daily RSI has not touched 70 and is hovering around 63, suggesting there is still room for further gains. We will carefully monitor the situation to see if the euro continues to rise into U.S. trading hours and sets a new high for the year.
Today, at 3:00 p.m., UK industrial production, UK GDP, UK manufacturing output, and the UK trade balance will be released; at 6:00 p.m., the Eurozone industrial production figures will be released; at 8:45 p.m., remarks by Nagel, President of the German Federal Bank, will be made; and at 9:30 p.m., the U.S.Producer Price Index and U.S. Initial Jobless Claims; at 10:00 PM, remarks by Bank of Canada Governor McClem and remarks by UK MPC Member Pill; at 11:30 PM, U.S. weekly natural gas inventories; and at 2:00 AM, a U.S. 30-year Treasury auction.We want to carefully assess the direction of the euro, which is rising amid a trend of yen weakness.
