EUR/USD

In the absence of important news players tried to take profits from the preceding growth in the pair. Because of that the pair moved away from the extremums and hit 1.3900 this morning. Today the markets will be focused on Draghi’s speech at the press-conference after the rate decision. It’s quite possible that we will hear again about readiness to act and that the continuous low inflation will be pernicious for the economic growth. Not only the market participants, but also journalists of every stripe and colour have been long in the know about this chapter of economic theory and as more…

EUR/USD

Yesterday the single currency went as high as 1.3878. The bears, who had put pressure on the currency earlier in the day, were punished, but the higher movement could already be provoked only by serious reasons. There weren’t any, so trading stabilized at the neutral 1.3850. Market players behave quite cautiously now in anticipation of piles of  important statistics on Europe and the USA. Regarding trends, inflation data will be of utmost importance for the single currency. Tomorrow we expect the Preliminary EU CPI for April, and today we will get inflation statistics on the German Lands, which may also affect more…

Yesterday ECB President Mario Draghi made a speech devoted to CBs’ communication during the period of crisis. It is very symbolic since the market feels difficulty with discerning the ECB’s signals. We constantly hear about a wide range of tools, which can be applied in case of need. In the meantime, inflation has slowed down to the lowest rates since 2009 and it is on assumption that, as opposed to that time, a year before the inflation rates were not increased. So, deflation forces are obvious. Yet, it is also obvious that the Committee members are at variance about the necessity more…

EUR/USD

The brief disappointment with the poor French statistics and further enthusiasm aroused by the German and EU data made yesterday’s European session quite volatile. After the release of the French data EURUSD tumbled down to 1.38, but then within an hour it grew by half a figure. However, bulls failed to hold even this level. By the end of the day the pair still slipped down towards 1.3815. After 10 days of flat trading the single currency seems to react more nervously to the news, but yet has enough strength to return to its former levels. It is all about absence more…

In anticipation of a pullback

EUR/USD

On Monday the single currency was under a moderate pressure, caused by Draghi’s promise to ease the policy not only in case of weak inflation, but also if the euro remains expensive. It’s quite logical as growth of the rate ensures inflation slowdown in the future and it happens with a certain lag, leaving space for maneuver. The most important thing is to use it in good time. Anyway, the euro remains under pressure. Governor of the Bank of France Noyer said yesterday that the ECB is ready for easing if inflation stays low for too long. Such statements from the more…
