Euro Gains Ground Against U.S. Dollar

EUR/USD managed to settle above the resistance at 1.2155 and is trying to get above the next resistance level at 1.2175 while the U.S. dollar is flat against a broad basket of currencies.

The U.S. Dollar Index is currently trying to move below the nearest support level at 90. If the U.S. Dollar Index manages to get below this level, it will gain additional downside momentum and head towards the support at 89.75 which will be bullish for EUR/USD.

Today, foreign exchange market traders will focus on inflation data from the Eurozone. Analysts expect that Euro Area Inflation Rate increased by 0.2% month-over-month in January. On a year-over-year basis, Inflation Rate is projected to grow by 0.9%. Core Inflation Rate is expected to grow by 1.4% year-over-year.

Traders will also continue to monitor the developments in the U.S. government bond markets. Treasury yields remain close to multi-month highs, but the recent increase in yields did not provide support to the U.S. dollar as stimulus expectations put pressure on the American currency.
