The EUR/USD forecast hinges on U.S. CPI after five straight weekly losses, with hawkish Fed bets and a fully priced ECB rate hike weighing on the euro.

 

Fawad Razaqzada, StoneX Media Market Analyst, explains how the five-week downtrend, U.S. inflation data and crude oil prices shape the euro and U.S. dollar outlook.

 

With CPI expectations well defined, a meaningful surprise is needed to trigger a strong dollar move. Crude oil prices and bond yields remain key dollar drivers as Middle East military activity remains high, while French government finances weigh on the single currency.
