In the previous day’s U.S. currency markets, the U.S. dollar became the weakest currency after the U.S. March Producer Price Index (PPI), released during U.S. trading hours, showed declines in both the overall and core indices compared to the previous month. The USD/JPY pair fell from 133.403 to 132.029, marking its second consecutive day of decline on the daily chart.From a technical perspective, USD/JPY has pulled back after encountering resistance at the 200-day EMA on the daily chart and is now moving toward the lower boundary of the uptrend line on the 4-hour chart; therefore, caution is advised regarding further declines during U.S. trading hours.
European currencies fell against Oceania currencies after Germany’s March consumer price index was released, showing a year-over-year rate of 7.4%, unchanged from the previous month.The EUR/AUD pair fell by approximately 180 pips from 1.6446 to 1.6264. This marked a pullback following the pair’s break above last year’s high. However, since the weekly RSI for EUR/AUD has not yet touched 70, indicating room for further movement, we will be watching price action during European trading hours closely.
