Economic Calendar Analysis



On Thursday, at 12:30 GMT, US Producer Price Index and Core Producer Price Index data will reveal inflation levels at the production level. In addition, take into account that the weekly US Unemployment Claims are scheduled to be released at the same time. Note that on their own, the claims have not been capable of increasing volatility. The moves on USD on April 28 were caused by the release of the negative US GDP, not the Unemployment Claims.

EUR/USD hourly chart's review

If the Euro declines against the US Dollar below the 1.0400 level and the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 1.0397, the rate could find some support in the 1.0350 level, before eventually reaching the 2017 low level at 1.0340. A move below 1.0340 would result in the EUR/USD being at levels not seen since 2002.

Meanwhile, a recovery of the currency pair is expected to encounter resistance at 1.0450 and the 1.0472/1.0492 zone.
