EUR/USD Weekly Special Report based on 1.00 Lot Calculation:
EVENTS:
-
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15 AT 13:30 GMT: U.S INFLATION (CPI) (DECEMBER): US Inflation is expected to see an increase to 2.9% (its highest since July 2024), up from 2.7%, while Core Inflation is expected to remain unchanged at 3.3%. The fact that higher inflation is expected could lead to an increase in the value of the US dollar.
-
FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, AT 10:00 GMT: EUROZONE INFLATION (CPI) (DECEMBER): The Eurozone is scheduled to report the second reading of its CPI figure for the month of December. The last CPI inflation data came out at 2.4%. If it comes below the recent 2.4%, the data could anticipate a decline in the value of the Euro, putting positive pressure on the EUR/USD.
GEOPOLITICS: US PRESIDENT- ELECT DONALD TRUMP TAKES OFFICE ON JANUARY 20, 2025
-
TRADE WAR: President Trump has on several occasions said that he will increase tariffs on countries that have trade surpluses with the US, including Canada, Mexico, China and the European Union. This will increase global economic uncertainties, which in turn could put negative pressure on currencies other than the US dollar, including the Euro.
DEVELOPING POLITICAL UNCERTAINTIES: EUROZONE
-
EVENT (SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2025): GERMANY ELECTIONS. Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-party coalition fell apart late last year after the pro-market Free Democrats quit in a row over governmental debt, leaving his Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens without a parliamentary majority just as Germany faces a deepening economic crisis. Uncertainties rise ahead of the February elections as the Alternative for Germany (AfD) continued to gain momentum and support ahead of the elections. Fears rise as markets believe that if the AfD wins, then serious economic and immigration changes could be implemented within the European Union (EU), which could in turn undermine the unity within the EU. All of these uncertainties could be expected to keep the EURO under negative pressure.
EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK TO KEEP CUTTING RATES:
-
EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK (ECB) INTEREST RATE CUT DECISION (DECEMBER). The ECB cut its benchmark interest rate in December from 3.40% to the current 3.15%, and investors expect the ECB could continue with their rate-cutting cycle. The benchmark interest rate in the Eurozone is now expected to be slashed below 3.15%. If the ECB does decide to continue cutting rates, this could push the EURO lower. NEXT MEETING: January 30, 2025 at 13:15 GMT.
