Weekly EUR/USD Outlook: 2017, March 26 - April 02
EUR/USD had a mixed week. The last week of March features a key survey and fresh inflation figures. Is the ECB’s optimism justified?
Attachment 26174
- German Ifo Business Climate: Monday, 8:00. Germany’s No. 1 Think-tank reported a return to an upbeat sentiment back in February, with a score of 111 points, just like in December, and after a blip in January.
- Monetary data: Monday, 8:00.
- German CPI: Thursday, the German states publish their estimates during the morning and the all-German number is made public at 12:00. The largest economy in the euro-zone saw prices rising by 0.6% m/m in February. Rising prices in Germany were fueled by fuel prices more than anything else. They are likely to continue rising y/y.
- German Import Prices: Thursday, 6:00.
- Spanish Flash CPI: Thursday, 7:00.
- German Retail Sales: Friday, 6:00.
- French CPI: Friday, 6:45.
- French Consumer Spending: Friday, 6:45.
- German Unemployment Change: Friday, 7:55.
- Flash inflation data: Friday, 9:00. Despite being released after the major countries will have already published their flash inflation estimates, the data still has a significant impact, as headline CPI is the ECB’s mandate. In February, the consumer price index hit the “holy grail” of central banking at 2%, higher than expected. However, core CPI remained stuck at 0.9%. The Producer Price Index rose by 0.7% m/m in January.
