Heavyweight Data and Fed Chatter to Direct EUR/USD This Week

EUR/USD Forecast – Prices, Charts, and Analysis

• US and Euro Area inflation releases dominate this week’s economic calendar.
• Federal Reserve speakers are out in force this week.

The Euro is eyeing 1.0700 against the US dollar in early turnover with little in the way of news, or sentiment, to make or break the move. The US dollar is fractionally weaker to start the week, while risk sentiment is flat after last Friday’s notable risk-on move.

This week’s sees the latest Euro Area and US inflation reports released, along with Euro Area growth and German sentiment. These data releases all have market-moving potential, especially the CPI reports after Chair Powell doubled down on the Fed’s fight against inflation last week.
