Last week, the EUR/USD experienced a fluctuation, trading within the range of 1.0725 to 1.0839. Despite the typically subdued activity during the Easter weeks, the release of the ISM data on Monday injected a surge of activity into the market. The data painted a positive picture of the U.S. economy, bolstering the sentiment among purchasing managers and reinforcing the notion of a robust economic landscape. In contrast, German inflation rates continued to decline, aligning with market expectations.

 Source: Finlogix Charts The tragic incident in the Gaza Strip, where seven aid workers were accidentally killed in an Israeli strike, highlighted the ongoing tensions in the region, emphasizing the importance of de-escalation efforts advocated by the United Nations.

In the short term, I’m looking at the EUR/USD to maintain a trading range between 1.0700 and 1.1000. The possibility of a permanent reduction in key interest rates by the ECB later in the year remains on the horizon, although such actions are not expected at the upcoming ECB meeting in April. Despite falling inflation rates, long-term interest rates have been rising, reflecting market confidence in the statements of central bankers regarding the future trajectory of interest rates.

Looking ahead, upcoming data releases from the US, including the Nonfarm Payrolls and Unemployment Rate data, are expected to provide further insights into the state of the economy. From a technical standpoint, while the EUR/USD reached a new monthly low last week, momentum appears to have paused temporarily, with potential for a countermovement towards the 1.0830 level.

In the middle term, central banks are poised to respond to falling inflation rates by potentially cutting interest rates starting in June. Both the Fed and the ECB may embark on a path of rate cuts to support economic recovery, although the timing and extent of these actions remain uncertain.

Furthermore, inflation dynamics on both sides of the Atlantic are evolving, with projections indicating a temporary slowdown followed by a rebound in the long term. Economic recovery efforts are underway globally, with the US leading the way, although risks such as inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions persist.

Looking towards the long term, while the euro may see moderate gains, significant appreciation is unlikely, given the evolving economic landscape and potential challenges such as high US government debt. The resolution of conflicts such as the war in Ukraine could have positive implications for Europe's economy, while the US presidential election in November 2024 may influence the trajectory of the US dollar.

Overall, while economic conditions have improved significantly, uncertainties remain, underscoring the importance of vigilance and strategic decision-making in navigating the evolving financial landscape.
