πŸ” Fundamental Overview
EURUSD starts the new week in a tight consolidation zone, pressured by rising U.S. inflation and geopolitically driven risk aversion, but supported by stabilizing Eurozone inflation.
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ United States
1. U.S. Inflation Surprises to the Upside
β€’ The January PPI jumped from 0.4% to 0.5%, pushing annual producer inflation up from 3.3% β†’ 3.6%.
β€’ Core PPI rose from 0.6% β†’ 0.8% m/m.
Impact:

β€’ This supports the U.S. dollar and caps EURUSD upside.
2. Geopolitical Shock: Israel–Iran Conflict Escalates
β€’ Israel and Iran exchanged strikes, with shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz expected.
Impact:
β€’ Higher oil prices β†’ higher U.S. inflation expectations β†’ stronger USD.
β€’ Safe-haven flows favor USD over EUR.
3. Key U.S. Data Ahead
β€’ NFP due Friday: Analysts expect +60k jobs and unemployment steady at 4.3%.
If NFP beats expectations, EURUSD could retest 1.17 or lower.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Eurozone
1. Eurozone Inflation Softens Further
β€’ German headline CPI fell from 2.1% β†’ 1.9% in February.
Impact:

β€’ Limits EUR strength.
2. Eurozone Macro Mixed
β€’ German retail sales were weaker than expected while manufacturing shows some resilience (per parallel reporting).
3. ECB Outlook

o 1.2000–1.2050
β€’ Stop: Below 1.1740
β€’ Catalysts:

o 1.1580
β€’ Stop: Above 1.1820
β€’ Catalysts:

o Further escalation in Iran/Israel conflict
β€’ Rationale:
A decisive break below 1.17 invalidates the wedge pattern and resumes the broader correction.

Conclusion

🧠 Market Sentiment Summary

β€’ Medium-term sentiment: Moderately bullish as long as EURUSD holds 1.1700–1.1720 support.
β€’ Volatility expected to spike around:
o NFP (Friday)
o ISM Manufacturing/Services
