There are very few macroeconomic reports scheduled for today. Essentially, the only notable report is the Eurozone industrial production report. It is not the most secondary report, but it is certainly far from the most important. If the reaction to the Federal Reserve meeting last week resulted in movements of 60-80 pips, what can we expect from the Eurozone's industrial production? We believe that this report will not significantly impact the EUR/USD pair today. The calendars of macroeconomic and fundamental events in the UK, EU, and US are empty.
Several fundamental events are scheduled for Monday. In the US, representatives of the Fed's Monetary Committee, Stephen Miran and John Williams, will deliver speeches. There is no doubt that Miran will again emphasize the need to lower the key interest rate as soon as possible, but the last Fed meeting took place only a few days ago, so we are unlikely to hear anything new from committee officials. Jerome Powell has clearly outlined the future trajectory of rates—it's a pause while monitoring macroeconomic data. The "dovish wing" within the Fed remains in the minority, so we should not expect any near-term easing of US monetary policy.
On the first trading day of the week, both currency pairs may again lean towards growth, as upward trends continue to form in both cases. However, significant events are scheduled for the following days this week, so today may witness low volatility in a flat market. The European currency has the area of 1.1745-1.1754 to open positions around, while the British pound has the area of 1.3319-1.3331.
Important Note: Significant speeches and reports (always included in the news calendar) can greatly influence the movement of the currency pair. Therefore, during their release, it is advisable to trade cautiously or exit the market to avoid sharp reversals against the preceding movement.
