Euro Area annual inflation cooled significantly in January 2026 to 1.7%, the lowest level since September 2024, driven by a sharp drop in energy prices. Core inflation also hit its lowest point since October 2021. Despite this softness, the EUR/USD pair remains trapped around the 1.1800 level. The next move hinges on the resurgence of the US dollar, Federal Reserve commentary, and the upcoming speech by ECB President Lagarde. Technical support sits at 1.1700, with resistance at 1.1800.
