Daily Forex Market Preview, 13/03/2018

Lack of fundamentals on a quiet trading day left the U.S. dollar to trade flat following Friday’s decline. However, the USD was seen trading mixed across the board especially with the commodities turning weaker on the day.

Looking ahead, the inflation data coming out today will be a major event to watch with both headline and core inflation rate expected to rise at a slower pace compared to January’s solid gains. On an annual basis, headline CPI is expected to rise slightly while core CPI is expected to remain flat at a pace of 1.8%.

Elsewhere, the BoC Governor Poloz is expected to speak later in the afternoon followed by second tier data from Japan.

 

EURUSD 13-03-2018 Intra-day analysis

EURUSD (1.2325): The EURUSD was see trading with Friday’s range with price action forming an inside bar. The breakout from the inside bar could potentially indicate the near term bias. We expect to see EURUSD continuing to push lower following the consolidation at the resistance level at 1.2333 – 1.2635. The downside target towards 1.2090 remains in play as long as the resistance level holds the gains in the near term. A convincing close above the resistance level could shift the bias to the upside with the common currency likely to target 1.2443.
