The EUR/USD is trading at 1.1044, about to test the YTD high at around 1.1075.

As the Asian session begins, the EUR/USD is almost flat. The US economic docket featured the March Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI), which plummeted to -0.19, above estimates of -20, unchanged from February’s reading. The three-month moving average ticked up to 0.01%, indicating that the economy continues to expand slowly. Later, the April Dallas Fed Manufacturing Business Index slid to -23.4, well below the -11.00 estimated, as the survey showed that perceptions of broader business conditions worsened.

In the meantime, the CME FedWatch Tool foresees a 95.4% chance that the US Federal Reserve will hike rates to the 5.00%-5.25% range the following week.

US Treasury bond yields dropped, a headwind for the greenback, as shown by the US Dollar Index (DXY). The DXY is dropping 0.40%, down at 101.322, bolstering the Euro’s rally past the 1.1040 area.

Across the pond, European Central Bank (ECB) policymakers continued to cross newswires, with most expressing that further tightening is needed due to high inflation pressures. The ECB Governing Council member Isabel Schnabel commented that an increase of 50 bps at the May meeting is not off the table.

Data-wise, Germany’s IFO Business Climate Conditions and Expectations improved compared to March’s figures, spurring a jump in the EUR/USD pair towards the 1.1000 area.
