EUR/USD bearish move below parity on hold for now
EUR/USD: Trapped at 1.1800 as Euro Area inflation cools significantly… what next?
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.

Chart alert: AUD/USD bullish reversal at 20-day moving average, enroute to 0.7210
AUD/USD is showing signs of a bullish reversal at its 20-day moving average as the RBA is likely to maintain hawkish stance. Sticky core inflation at 3.4% and widening Australia–US rate spreads have strengthened expectations of another rate hike in May. A break above 0.7110 could open upside toward 0.7210, while 0.7020 remains key support for the near-term bullish bias.
