With new tariffs likely to have a significant negative impact on the American economy, the euro made strong gains against the dollar in the aftermath of the announcement. Against these, inflation in the eurozone cooled to 2.2% according to the flash release for March. The consensus is for a total cut of 0.65% by the ECB for the rest of 2025, which in itself is a negative factor for the euro: the difference in rates between it and the dollar is unlikely to change significantly until possibly next year.
$1.10 looks like a strong resistance which could resist testing for some time unless sentiment supports a breakout. However, with the price having consolidated above $1.08 for most of last month, a move above $1.10 seems to be more favourable technically now compared to around this time in March: there’s no indication of overbought and the slow stochastic is close to neutral at around 55.
The area around $1.07-1.08 and particularly $1.07 itself around the 100% monthly Fibonacci retracement will probably remain in view as a zone of support. A lot depends on the results of the upcoming American job report: since the range of expectations for total nonfarm is so wide, it seems more likely that the actual result will diverge significantly from the average consensus.
