U.S. January inflation data will be released on Tuesday (February 13). According to Trading Central's "Economic Insight", the inflation rate is expected to slow to 3.1% on year, and the core inflation rate to ease to 3.7% on year.
Several officials of the U.S. Federal Reserve have echoed Fed Chair Jerome Powell's saying that the central bank is “prudent” in deciding when to cut interest rates. And we are seeing U.S. Treasury yields rally amid growing expectations that the Fed may not cut interest rates very soon.
The Fed should be unlikely to start lowering rates in March, just as pointed out by Powell, in case inflation does not slow fast enough.
In the past 12 U.S. Inflation Reports, EUR/USD rose in 58% of times (7 out of 12 events) within one hour from the report’s release, marking a trading range of 57.45 pips on average.
