In U.S. currency trading the previous day, the U.S. dollar weakened against the euro after the U.S. February durable goods orders, released yesterday, fell by 0.1 percentage points to 1.3% from the previous month’s 1.4%. The EUR/USD pair rose from 1.0724 to 1.0778, marking its first daily bullish candle in six days.On the 4-hour chart, the EUR/USD pair is attempting to rise from just below the 20-period moving average, so it will be important to watch for any signs of the U.S. dollar losing momentum during European trading hours.
Despite the preliminary March consumer price index (CPI) for Germany, released yesterday, showing a year-over-year decline from 2.5% the previous month to 2.2%, the euro strengthened against the yen. The euro/yen pair rose from 162.623 to 163.377.The 200-period simple moving average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart acted as a support level. Since the pair has rebounded from the 20-period moving average (MA) on the daily chart, it will be worth watching whether the euro continues to rise during U.S. trading hours.
