EUR/USD: the market is awaiting data from the US

FX:EURUSD   Euro / U.S. Dollar
Current trend

EUR shows a moderate decline against USD during the Asian session, developing flat dynamics in the short term.

Investors are in no hurry to open new trading positions, preferring to wait for today's publication of US inflation statistics. If the data indicate an increase in inflationary pressures, this could serve as a reason for the US Fed to revise its monetary policy towards tightening.

Today, traders will also focus on the decision of the European Central Bank (ECB) on the interest rate with a follow-up press conference. No changes in the monetary policy of the European regulator are expected, but updated forecasts will be important.
