The EUR/USD pair is trading close to 1.0821, demonstrating a strong stance in the current market environment. Investors are leaning towards riskier assets, buoyed by the anticipation of several key macroeconomic releases this week.
A critical focal point for the market will be the upcoming US inflation data, particularly the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, a preferred measure of inflation by the Federal Reserve. The report, expected to be released on Thursday, is forecasted to show a 0.4% month-on-month increase. This data is crucial as it influences the Fed’s monetary policy decisions.
The prevailing market sentiment suggests that the Federal Reserve may not be poised to embark on a monetary easing cycle just yet, opting instead to maintain the current interest rate levels for a longer duration.
