FxWirePro: EUR/USD resumes downside after German inflation data

  • The EUR /USD pair declined on Monday after German inflation data came in slightly weaker than expected, which took some pressure off the European Central Bank to wind down its stimulus programme.
     
  • The latest figures showed German consumer price inflation hit 1.9 percent in January. While that was the highest in three-and-a-half years, it was slightly below forecasts for a 2 percent annual rise.
     
  • The data came in slightly weaker than consensus forecast of 2.0 percent. Still, it was the highest annual inflation rate since July 2013.
     
  • The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.0790 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0660, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.0726.
     
  • To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.0619, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.0580.
