EURUSD

The currency pair was in a downtrend yesterday before the US CPI m/m data. However, right after the release of this data, EUR/USD stopped to decline. US CPI met the forecasts and the Core data was worse than expected. Fed pays more attention to the Core CPI. It is the main reason why market participants stopped to buy USD when they have seen the results of the release. We advise to pay attention to today’s US Building Permits data, which may have some impact on USD. There is a probability that this statistics accompanied by yesterday’s weaker than expected Core CPI data is going to exert pressure on USD.
There is no trend on the Weekly chart as the price is close to the MA55 balance line. The currency pair moved downwards last week. We expect EUR/USD to have an upside correction in the next couple of days.
There is no trend on the Hourly chart as the MA-channel is horizontal and the price is close to the MA55 balance line. We expect the tendency to change in the nearest future.
GBPUSD

The currency pair finally changed its tendency after yesterday’s UK CPI y/y data. Analysts expected CPI growth to increase to 0,9%. However, final result was even better at 1,0% level. The faster inflation growth is the less chances of further monetary easing by the Bank of England are. In addition Mark Carney, Head of the Bank of England expressed his worries about the faster than expected devaluation of the British Pound.
There is the downtrend on the Weekly chart as the price is below the MA55 balance line. The currency pair declined last week. We expect the same tendency to continue this week. However, the latest UK CPI data may change the situation.
