The currency pair EUR / USD on Monday, January 14, in the context of the continuing "shutdown" in America and the upcoming vote on the Brexit in the British parliament, adjusted to the moving average line. The consumer price index in the United States has slowed, but exactly in line with the forecast. Therefore, the decline in the pair, respectively, the growth of the dollar, was hardly due to the publication of macroeconomic statistics in the States. Moreover, a study was conducted the other day, which shows that 56% of respondents blame Trump for such a long-term "shutdown" and his rating drops. It is unlikely, of course, that Trump will be greatly upset, but in itself a remarkable fact. For the currency pair, the key area today is around the MA. If the pair fails to consolidate below it, the uptrend will continue and we can expect a resumption of the upward movement with the first target of 1.1536. From macroeconomic publications today, only the report on industrial production for November in the European Union can be noted. In America, no important report has been scheduled for today. In the coming days, the attention of markets will be focused on the UK. Recall that tomorrow there should be a vote on the project of Theresa May on the country's withdrawal from the EU. The results of this vote or any other important information on this topic may affect the EUR / USD pair.
