Good and bad factors | 14 February 2022

EURUSD trading plan:

The ECB opened the door to a rate increase later in 2022 and said that a March 10 meeting would be crucial in deciding how quickly the central bank would reduce its bond-buying scheme. The end of negative rates would mark a significant moment for euro zone markets, which have suffered persistent outflows and currency weakness. This is a positive signal for the European currency. U.S. consumer prices surged 7.5% last month on a year-over-year basis, topping economists' estimates of 7.3% and marking the biggest annual increase in inflation in 40 years, further adding to pressure on the Fed to raise rates more aggressively. This is a positive signal for the dollar.

Investment idea: range 1.1300 -1.1390.
