EUR/USD: the pair is decreasing in view of the upcoming inflatio
Current trend
The quotes of EUR/USD are decreasing today. Euro appeared to be under pressure of negative data on the volume of industrial output in France which reduced by 1.1% in June. Moreover, the fall of the pair was facilitated by the investors’ waiting for tomorrow’s data on CPI. The indicator is expected to grow in July from 0.0% to 0.2% MoM and from 1.6% to 1.8% YoY. The correctness of this forecast is proven by the growth of average salary in the USA in July by 0.3%. On the other hand, import prices have been decreasing since January, although the outlook for July is positive as well (the indicator is expected to grow by 0.1% after 2 months of falling). Generally, the possibility of inflation growth in the USA is quite high, but it may not reach the forecast levels.
In the absence of important economic statistics today attention may be pair do the statement by the member of the Fed, head of FRB New York William Dudley in the framework of press briefing dedicated to the issues of salary payment in the region. Geopolitics may also make corrections to the movement of the pair. According to recent data, the US Department of Defense already has a plan of a preventive strike at 20 military objects of North Korea. Further aggravation of the situation between the USA and North Korea may lead to considerable market volatility and the weakening of USD.
