The currency pair EUR / USD on September 14 continues the growth that began on the previous day, not connected with the results of the ECB meeting or the speech of Mario Draghi. We continue to believe that the fall in the US currency was caused yesterday by weak inflation in the United States. Thus, by the present moment, the frustration effect associated with the disappointing CPI should have already weakened. Proceeding from this, to continue the ascending movement of the pair, new fundamental reasons will be required. The euro continues to move up exclusively, thanks to America and the actions and statements of Donald Trump. Today, from macroeconomic events, only reports on retail sales and industrial production in the States for August can be identified. These reports may well affect the movement of the currency pair, but everything will depend on how optimistic the figures in these reports will be. The forecasts indicate a possible decrease in the growth rates of retail sales and an increase in industrial production by 0.3%. We also continue to believe that Trump took the dollar seriously. And many of his actions, some even hidden from the public, will be directed precisely at the depreciation of the dollar. There is no important news on the topic of the trade war, and we recommend, as before, to monitor any Trump messages, including his Twitter, and news from the White House.

Trading recommendations:
The currency pair EUR / USD continues to move up, as indicated by the purple bars of the indicator Heikin Ashi. The goal, thus, for purchases now is the level of 1.1719, and in the case of its overcoming, 1.1780.
It is recommended to open short positions not earlier than traversing the moving average line. In this case, the target will be the level of Murray "5/8" - 1.1536, and the trend for the instrument will change to a descending one.
In addition to the technical picture, one should also take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
