Summary:  Waiting for the CPI, EURUSD at a key level


Good Morning all,

Markets are a bit quiet – if not actually a bit dull ahead of the US CPI this afternoon at 14:30 CET.

While US Equitiy closed at records again, movements were fairly small considering that the 1 trillion infrastructure deal made it through the senate and the process on the 3.5 trillion budget has started. US Indexes closed 0.1-0.5% higher, Europe also gained and over night we saw minute retracements. Gold and silver traded lower yesterday but recovered to 1734 and 23.40, EURUSD is at 1.1715 and GBPUSD at 1.3826. The USD Index rose above 93.10 and Bitcoin 46,000.

EURUSD is right at a key support level here and a break lower would suggest a move to 1.1620.

The big question is if the CPI today calls for fed action in terms of either tapering or a shift to a rate hike earlier or if the argument the high inflation was only transitory can be maintained. In recent economic data releases, FX has been more sensitive to rates while equities are more driven by QE and money flow. Watch out for comments after the data we well as for the data itself.

The Core CPI YY is expected at 4.3%, the CPI MM SA at 0.5%, the CPI YY NSA at 5.3%.
