The currency pair EUR / USD on Friday, March 1, again corrected to the moving average line. All movements on the instrument are still of low volatility. Thus, it can be noted that in the instrument as a whole, nothing changes. On the last trading day of the working week, it is planned to publish preliminary values of inflation in the European Union for February and the unemployment rate. Unemployment is expected to be 7.9%, while the CPI will accelerate to 1.5%. We recall that, in principle, any value below the target 2% can be considered a weak indicator. However, if there is an unexpected stronger acceleration of inflation, this may support the euro currency. In America, data on changes in personal income and expenditures of the American population, as well as indexes of business activity in the manufacturing sector Markit and ISM will be published today. Thus, the big news today will be, above all, to the actual values on the line with the forecasts, then we can expect to gain volatility. Also, the inflation rate is important from the point of view of understanding the general economic situation in the European Union. Recently, more and more talk that the EU is slipping into recession, and the uncertainty with Brexit only puts more pressure on this situation. In part, macroeconomic indicators confirm these concerns.
