*The euro is set for heightened volatility as August inflation data are released, with headline CPI expected to rise toward 3.0% YoY from 2.9% in July.
*A stronger inflation print could reinforce expectations for a 25bp ECB hike to 2.50% on September 10, supporting the euro. A softer core reading could weaken those expectations.
*If the inflation increase is driven mainly by elevated energy prices, the ECB may view it as temporary, potentially limiting EUR upside. Traders should watch core inflation and ECB guidance closely.
The euro is set to face heightened volatility today as Eurozone inflation data for August are released. Preliminary figures are widely expected to show a further acceleration in headline consumer prices, with consensus forecasts pointing to an increase toward 3.0% year-on-year or higher, up from 2.9% in July. The anticipated rise is driven primarily by elevated energy costs linked to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Core inflation, which excludes energy and food, is projected to remain relatively stable near 2.5–2.6%, suggesting that underlying price pressures have not yet shown broad-based second-round effects.
A stronger-than-expected inflation print would reinforce the case for the European Central Bank to maintain a hawkish stance at its upcoming policy meeting on September 10. Markets have already priced a high probability of a 25-basis-point rate increase that would lift the deposit facility rate to 2.50%. Persistent above-target inflation, combined with resilient economic activity in the euro area, has given policymakers room to continue normalising monetary conditions. Conversely, a softer reading—particularly if core measures cool more than anticipated—could temper expectations for further tightening beyond September and weigh on the single currency.
In the near term, the euro’s direction will depend heavily on the details of today’s data and the subsequent market reassessment of the ECB’s reaction function. A clear upside surprise in inflation would likely support the euro against the U.S. dollar and other major currencies by solidifying the outlook for higher euro-area interest rates. However, any signs that the increase is purely energy-driven and temporary could limit the currency’s upside, especially if global risk sentiment remains cautious. Traders will also monitor accompanying comments from ECB officials in the coming days for confirmation of the policy path ahead of the September meeting.
Technical Analysis
EURUSD, H4:
The EUR/USD pair declined by more than 0.5% in the previous session, signaling renewed selling pressure. Although the pair staged a technical rebound afterward, the recovery remained capped underneath the immediate resistance level at 1.1612, suggesting that the bearish momentum remains intact.
As long as EUR/USD continues to trade below 1.1612, sellers may retain control in the near term, increasing the possibility of further downside. Should the selling pressure accelerate, the next key support level to watch would be near 1.1462.
Overall, the failure to reclaim 1.1612 keeps the near-term outlook tilted to the downside, with 1.1462 emerging as the next potential target if EUR/USD extends its decline.
Resistance Levels:1.1805, 1.1955
Support Levels:1.1462, 1.1255
