Fundamental analysis
The CPI index reflects changes in consumer prices of goods and services, helping evaluate the dynamics of buying trends and economic stagnation. A lower-than-forecasted reading typically has a negative effect on the national currency. The forecast for 10 September 2024 suggested a negative reading of -0.1%, and the actual value aligned with expectations. CPI shifted to a negative territory compared to the previous period, indicating a reduction in consumer purchases.
The EU economic outlook for the next five years will be announced by former ECB head Mario Draghi today.
The speech by US FOMC member Michelle Bowman, who is also a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, could provide insight into future US monetary policy and shed light on the September 2024 interest rate decision. The EURUSD fundamental analysis shows that the euro has lost some ground against the US dollar over the past few days. Positive economic forecasts may support the euro and the EURUSD rate could continue its upward momentum after a correction.
