On Thursday, EUR/USD remained strongly bullish and showed no signs of slowing down. The pair managed to hit fresh 7-week highs, testing the 1.0930 level. This consistent upward trend can be attributed to the persistent selling pressure on the US dollar, which resulted in the USD Index (DXY) hitting multi-week lows, falling below the 102.00 level earlier in the day. The dovish hike by the Fed during its Wednesday meeting, coupled with Chair Powell's downbeat message at his press conference following the rate hike, also contributed to the pair's upward momentum.
The European Commission will release the flash EMU Consumer Confidence for the current month, which will likely have an impact on the euro's performance. In the US, weekly Claims, Chicago Fed National Activity Index, and New Home Sales are expected to be released.
The EUR/USD pair's optimistic outlook remains intact, and it looks to consolidate its recent strong rebound past the 1.0900 resistance level. The pair's immediate target is the 2023 high near 1.1030. The pair's future price action will be largely dependent on the US dollar's movement and the European Central Bank's potential next moves, considering the current context dominated by elevated inflation, although amidst dwindling recession risks for the time being.
