4-Hour EUR/USD

Yesterday the pair continued growing amid weakness in the USD that was pressured by unexpectedly pessimistic commentaries from the Fed last Wednesday. The regulator lowered its own forecasts of the pace of further monetary policy tightening in the US and mentioned existing risks to the economy of the excessive strengthening in the dollar. In addition, the pair was supported by strong data from the eurozone where the Consumer Price Index for February grew by 0.2% and exceeded forecasts of economists.
