Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate. The EUR/USD should bounce from 1.1330 area towards 1.1360. Above 1.1360 stronger momentum should kick in and the next target is 1.1420. The final target is 1.1519. We don’t think we should see 1.1519 without a fundamental driver, in this case next week FED. But the focus is on the move up and 1.1420.
