Despite the ECB rate cut, despite the good US employment data, the resistance of the 1.0900 held. The rate appears to be more respecting round exchange rate levels than fundamentals. However, it could be a coincidence that the US employment data did not come in below expectations and cause a breaking of the 1.0900 mark.

On June 12 at 12:30 GMT, the United States Consumer Price Index will reveal how inflation has done in the US over the past month. The event will reveal whether the decision to keep US interest rates unchanged has continued to push inflation lower.

On the same day, at 18:00 GMT, the United States Federal Reserve is set to announce its Federal Funds Rate and release the FOMC Statement. In general, the central bank is expected to keep rate unchanged, but the information in the statement will reveal when and how policy changes could occur.

On June 13, the US Producer Price Index will be published at 12:30 GMT. The index shows inflation at the producer level. It is considered that inflation at the producer level results in consumer price increases. However, in most cases that does not occur. Due to this reason the event has a minor impact.

The week afterwards, on June 18 at 12:30 GMT, minor impact could occur due to the publication of the US monthly Retail Sales change. Higher retail sales indicate a healthy economy, but also signal inflation.
