Economic Calendar Analysis
On Thursday, the top event of the week will take place. At 12:30 GMT, the US Consumer Price Index is bound to impact all currency pairs via an adjustment of the value of the US Dollar to the inflation numbers.
On Friday, the US Producer Price Index numbers will reveal how inflation is doing at the producer level. This rate might cause a move, if it deviates a lot from the market forecast. However, due to it being released a day after the consumer inflation, it is unlikely that the PPI numbers create a major market reaction.
EUR/USD hourly chart analysis
In the near term future, the Euro could recover against the US Dollar and face the resistance of the 1.1000 mark. If this level fails, the rate should aim at the 1.1040/1.1065 zone and the weekly simple pivot point at 1.1045. In addition, the 50 and 100-hour SMA could slow down the pair, if they resume to have an impact.A potential resumption of the prior decline would look for support in the 1.0950 and 1.0900 levels, prior to approaching the weekly S1 simple pivot point at 1.0880.
