The Euro is trading just above the 1.1600 support after a decline from 1.1700 over recent days. German economic sentiment data reveals a weak outlook for the Eurozone’s leading economy, with attention shifting to the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report expected to indicate increased price pressures.
EUR/USD steadied around the European session, facing bearish momentum due to a poor ZEW Economic Sentiment Index report. Comments about the US inflation figures and the Trump-Putin meeting regarding Ukraine’s war are also affecting market perceptions.
German ZEW Institute Confirmation
The German ZEW institute confirms a weakened outlook, impacting sectors such as chemical, pharmaceutical, mechanical, engineering, and metal. Meanwhile, a potential peace deal between Putin and Trump remains on the horizon, affecting market hopes, although previous proposals were rejected by Ukraine.
The US CPI data, anticipating a rise to a 2.8% annual rate, will be closely observed for implications on future monetary policy. The US Dollar’s response to this data, along with ongoing trade discussions between the US and China, plays a role in the market’s movements.
EUR/USD found support around 1.1595, with immediate resistance at 1.1630. Technical indicators show a bearish trend, and failure to climb above 1.1630 could lead to further declines. Future targets for the pair include the lows of August 5 and July 31 at 1.1530 and 1.1460, respectively.
