EUR/USD rebounds from minimums with the tariffs and US CPI at the point of view

  • The euro bounces and cuts some of the previous losses as the attention focuses on the publication of the US CPI.
  • The hopes of a commercial agreement between the EU and the US and China’s optimistic data are contributing to reducing risk aversion
  • The EUR/USD will probably find significant resistance in the 1,1700 area.

The Eur/USD He is quoting up on Tuesday, breaking a loss streak of four days, while representatives of the European Union (EU) and the United States (USA) continue to seek an agreement to avoid a 30% tariff announced by US President Donald Trump, with one eye in the publication of the US consumer price index (CPI).

The euro (EUR) is recovered from the minimum of three weeks in 1,1655 reached on Monday, but remains limited below the level of 1,1700 so far. Observing the widest trend, the pair continues to be trapped inside a bearish channel, going back from a maximum of almost four years of 1,1830 established on July 1.

The market feeling improves something on Tuesday as negotiations with the US continue, and President Trump announced the visit of EU officials to the USA before reiterating his willingness to dialogue in an interview with journalists at the White House on Monday.

The US dollar (USD), on the other hand, shows a somewhat softer tone, with caution investors to maintain large long positions in dollars before the US consumer inflation report. Investors will analyze the June CPI to assess the impact of tariffs and anticipate the next monetary policy steps of the Federal Reserve (Fed). Any deviation from the market consensus could have a significant impact on the crossings of the US dollar.

Meanwhile, US President Trump has continued to press the president of the FED, Jerome Powell, asking for lower interest rates. The unprecedented harassment of Trump will probably intensify if the highest inflation expectations of the Fed do not materialize, questioning the independence of the Central Bank. On previous occasions, these dynamics have increased the negative pressure on the US dollar.
