Analysis of trading charts from March 9

The technical correction from the support level of 1.0800 managed to return the EURUSD quote above 1.1050. This movement has led to a fairly strong strengthening of the euro in recent days, which removed the oversold status.

During the downward movement, the GBPUSD currency pair found a foothold near the upper border of the psychologically important level 1.2950/1.3000/1.3050. As a result, there was a stagnation followed by a price rollback.

March 10 economic calendar:

The ECB Governing Council is scheduled for a meeting today, where, given the rapid growth of inflation, it is quite possible to expect a decision to raise the refinancing rate. This step would be logical, however, due to the current situation in the world, the regulator can be expected to be even more cautious in terms of actions. Thus, it will turn out that the ECB will refuse to tighten monetary policy, as a result, this will put even more pressure on the euro.

During the American trading session, data on inflation in the United States will be published, which may again reflect an increase in consumer prices from 7.5% to 7.9%. This once again confirms the words of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell that there is no need to expect any slowdown in inflation this year.
