• The Euro nudges higher with the US Dollar weighed in heightened hopes of Fed cuts in March.
• A softer-than-expected US PPI on Friday sent the US Dollar lower across the board.
• Trading is light on Monday, with US markets closed on bank holiday.

The Euro (EUR) has opened the week on a moderately positive tone, with a mild appetite for risk prevailing in the European session. Trading volumes are expected to remain subdued, as US markets are closed for Martin Luther King’s birthday, and the Eurozone industrial production is the only data worth mentioning today.

The US Dollar remains on the defensive, with the Dollar Index (DXY) unable to put a significant distance from late December lows. The inflation data released last week has failed to ease investors’ hopes that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will slash interest rates aggressively this year, starting with a 25 bps rate cut in March.

Traders welcomed December’s unexpected decline of the US Producer Prices Index (PPI), increasing their bets for Fed easing and ignoring the uptick in the CPI figures and Fed officials’ warnings about excessive optimism. US Treasury Yields retreated, with the benchmark 10-year yield dipping below the 4% level, and the US Dollar eased, to close the week practically flat.

This week, the focus will be on the Eurozone Consumer Price Index (CPI) and US Retail Sales data. These figures will give further insight into the Eurozone and US economic outlook and might help the EUR/USD to break the horizontal range that is constraining price action.

The EUR/USD keeps trading within a narrow range on Monday, with price action trapped between the 4-hour 100 and 200 SMAs, with the RSI flattening around the 50 level, which suggests a lack of clear direction.

The broader trend, however, remains positive, with price action reflecting higher highs and higher lows. Immediate support remains at 1.0930, where the 4-hour 200 SMA meets the price. Below here, the trendline support from early November lows, now around 1.0900, and the January 5 low at 1.0875 are likely to challenge bears.

On the upside, the pair needs to breach a strong resistance at 1.1000, where the pair has printed a double top. This level is closing the path toward a minor resistance at 1.1075, ahead of December’s peak at 1.1145.
