Market Participants May Wait and See How Far the Euro Can Rise Against the U.S. Dollar

05.03.2026

Today's Highlights
  1. U.S. Challenger Job Cuts
  2. UK Construction PMI

In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the U.S. dollar fell against the yen after the final figures for the U.S. February PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) released yesterday showed declines in both the non-manufacturing and composite indices compared to the previous month. The USD/JPY pair fell from 157.864 to 156.865, tracking a downward trend along the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the price broke below the support line formed by the 20-period moving average with a real-body candle, and on the daily chart, it rebounded after touching the +2σ line of the Bollinger Bands.

European currencies rose as the euro strengthened against the U.S. dollar after the European Union’s January Producer Price Index (PPI), released yesterday, remained unchanged from the previous month at -2.1% year-over-year.The EUR/USD pair rose from 1.1575 to 1.1654. On the hourly chart, the price has moved from below the 20-period moving average (MA) to above it. On the 4-hour chart, the RSI has recovered to 37 after falling to 21, and on the daily chart, the 200-period exponential moving average (EMA) is acting as a support level, with the price currently rebounding.

Today’s economic indicators include Japan’s foreign and domestic securities investment at 8:50, Australia’s trade balance at 9:30, Switzerland’s unemployment rate at 17:00, the UK’s construction PMI at 18:30, and the Eurozone’s retail sales at 19:00,Germany: Remarks by Nagel, President of the German Federal Bank; 21:30: U.S. Challenger Layoff Count, Eurozone: Publication of ECB Governing Council Minutes; 22:30: U.S. Nonfarm Productivity Index, U.S. Initial Jobless Claims, U.S. Import/Export Price Index;at 24:30, U.S. weekly natural gas inventories; at 26:00, remarks by ECB President Lagarde; and at 27:15, remarks by Fed Vice Chair Bowman. I intend to wait and see how much further the euro can rise against the U.S. dollar.
