EUR/USD bounces off 1.1080, US CPI eyed
After a brief visit to the 1.1080 area, EUR/USD is now looking to regain the key 1.1100 handle.
EUR/USD focus on EU Summit, US CPI
Spot has surrendered initial gains to the 1.1130 area on Friday, returning to the 1.1100/1.1090 band while EU-UK talks have resumed at the EU Summit in Brussels, although there is still no major progress.
While the pair is on its way to snap a positive 3-week streak, the dollar will take centre stage later in light of the release of the inflation figures in the US economy, with consensus expecting prices to have risen 1.3% on a year to January.
EUR/USD levels to watch
The pair is now advancing 0.02% at 1.1100 facing the next hurdle at 1.1220 (23.6% Fibo of December up-move) followed by 1.1378 (high Feb.11) and then 1.1496 (monthly high Oct.20 2015). On the flip side, a breakdown of 1.1051 (200-day sma) would target 1.0965 (61.8% Fibo of December up-move) and finally 1.0709 (YTD low Jan.5).
