EUR/USD firmer, eyes on 1.3850
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The buying interest around the single currency is picking up pace on Wednesday, now lifting the EUR/USD to the area of 1.3850.
EUR/USD focus on CPI
The next risk event for EUR traders will be the release of the final inflation figures in the euro area for the month of March. Market consensus expects consumer prices to have advanced 0.5% on a yearly basis, lower than February’s 0.7% gain. Across the pond, housing data, Fed’s Yellen speech and the Beige Book will be in the limelight. “We expect Yellen to be dovish and not least attempt to decouple Fed’s tapering and interest rate decision”, noted Anders Fischer, Analyst at Danske Bank.
EUR/USD levels to watch
At the moment the pair is up 0.18% at 1.3840 with the next resistance at 1.3863 (high Apr.14) and then 1.3906 (high Apr.11). On the downside, a break below 1.3807 (low Apr.16) would open the door to 1.3790 (low Apr.15and finally 1.3780 (low Apr.9).
