The EUR/USD slightly recovers from yesterday’s losses, advancing almost 0.31%, due to a soft US dollar after August’s US Producer Price Index (PPI) dropped 0.1%, in line with the consensus, though easing fears of inflation becoming entrenched.

On Wednesday, the EUR/USD began trading near the day’s lows at 0.9955 but climbed toward the daily high above 1.0020 before losing the parity again. At the time of writing, the EUR/USD is trading at 0.9985, above its opening price by 0.19%.

Before Wall Street opened, the US Labor Department reported that prices paid by the producer in August contracted as estimated by 0.1%, flashing signs that the supply chain headwinds are easing. In the meantime, the core reading edged up by 0.4%. In the meantime, annual-based numbers in the Producer Price Index (PPI) decelerated from 9.8% in the previous reading to 8.7%, while the core PPI exceeded estimations of 7%, peaking at around 7.3%.

US economic data released during September further cemented the Fed’s case for a 75 bps rate hike. However, the possibility of a 100 bps increase surfaced after Tuesday’s CPI reported that core inflation was stickier than estimated. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the odds of a 100 bps rate hike lie at 26%.

In the Euro area side, July’s Industrial Production fell 2.3% MoM, vs. a contraction of 1.1% estimated, showing the deterioration in the bloc’s economy. As a result, the annually-based reading fell 2.4%, against expectations of 0%. Weakness in Germany spread toward other larger economies in the Eurozone. Meanwhile, Short Term Interest Rates (STIRs) have priced in an 80% chance of an ECB 75 bps rate hike in October, amidst a 250 bps tightening over the next 12 months.

The US economic calendar will feature unemployment claims, the NY and Philly Fed Business Indices, alongside important Retail Sales figures.
