Daily Technical Analysis EUR/USD: Rallies on Wednesday as the U.S. Dollar Continues to Weaken
EUR/USD climbed on Wednesday, recovering most of its early-week losses as the pair moved closer to the 1.1200 mark. The rebound was driven more by broad-based U.S. dollar softness than by any strong bullish sentiment specific to the euro.
Muted Market Reaction to U.S. CPI Data
Tuesday’s release of U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data prompted a relatively muted reaction from markets. Investors remain cautiously optimistic that ongoing trade negotiations led by the Trump administration will help maintain a positive tone, although any tariff rollbacks so far have been temporary and subject to reversal.
April’s CPI report showed a modest decline, pushing annualized headline inflation to a new three-year low. However, with the Trump administration’s aggressive tariff stance—including triple-digit duties on key trade partners—analysts expect inflationary pressures to pick up again, potentially making this one of the last soft CPI prints in the near term.
