EURUSD Weekly downtrend opportunity based on 1 Lot Calculation:
-
EVENT: Wednesday, May 11 at 13:30 GMT+1 – US Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for April. It is expected that core inflation in the US, which excludes food and energy prices, further rose to 6.6% last month. High inflation is pushing the US Federal Reserve to continue to hike interest rates, while the ECB is still behind the Fed curve, and will remain so as disappointing economic data continues to roll in. This is why the euro is depressed;
-
The euro is also heavily pressured by the prospect of (detrimental effects of) additional (6th round of) sanctions on Russia and the ongoing war in Ukraine with no solution on the horizon yet;
-
The dollar Index, which tracks the US currency against a basket of six other currencies, trades high above 100 points, its highest level in the last few decades, pointing to further upside.
