The EUR/USD has reacted to US fundamentals. Namely, the speech of Jerome Powell revealed that the Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve is considering earlier end of interest rate hikes. This indicates that the base rate of the USD would be lower than previously expected. As a result, the USD sharply declined.

By the start of Thursday's European trading hours, the pair had reached above 1.0450. In the meantime, the 1.0400 mark was acting as support.

Economic Calendar Analysis



On Thursday, note the Core PCE Price Index release at 13:30 GMT. The US monetary policymakers watch this index as a measure of inflation, not the Consumer Price Index.

Afterwards, the US ISM Manufacturing PMI could impact the US Dollar's value at 15:00 GMT.

The week is set to end with the release of the United States employment data at 13:30 GMT. The data release consists of the US Average Hourly Earnings changes, Non-Farm Employment Change and Unemployment Rate.

An extension of the ongoing surge might encounter resistance in the weekly R1 simple pivot point at 1.0486, before approaching the 1.0500 mark. The 1.0500 acted as resistance during the Monday's high volatility.

On the other hand, a decline of the Euro against the US Dollar is set to continue to find support in the 1.0400 mark. Meanwhile, the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages could act as support in the 1.0350/1.0370 range. In addition, note the weekly simple pivot point at 1.0355.
