What Should Be Considered for Today’s EURUSD Session?

The market is still looking forward to the release of the US Consumer Price Index and FOMC Minutes reports. Recent ECB comments seem to have boosted the upward movement of the EURUSD. The EURUSD is trading around 1.2380, +0.71% comparing to last week which means that this pair has positively varied around 100 pips. Meanwhile, Ewald Nowotny, Governor of the National Bank of Austria, stated that “the European Central Bank will stop buying assets sometime this year.” But when the London session was about to close, another ECB spokesman said: the visions are yours and do not represent the vision of the governing council”.

Despite the volatility caused due to those statements, the market seems to have already recovered, keeping the bullish movement, while everyone is expecting the main events of today’s economic calendar. Precisely, the President of the ECB, Mario Draghi, will speak at 11:00 GMT. In the US, the Consumer Price Index and the FOMC minutes reports are scheduled to be released at 13:30 GMT and 18:00 GMT, respectively.
