On Monday (March 4), the currency pair EUR / USD turned out to be near the moving average line once again. On Friday, there were attempts to resume the upward movement, however, the failed macroeconomic statistics from the States and the European Union prevented traders from making a common decision. In the euro zone, a preliminary value for February was published. The CPI unexpectedly accelerated to 1.5%, but overall, this value remains extremely low. On the contrary, core inflation slowed down to 1.0%. And in the United States, the market manufacturing business index fell to 53.0, and the ISM index to 54.2. Although, in general, these values remain in the "green" zone, a negative trend is still visible to the naked eye. ISM index of gradual acceleration of inflation also turned out to be worse than market expectations, while consumer confidence index did not reach experts' forecasts. In such conditions, it would be logical to see a decline in the US dollar, however, the euro is now also under pressure from the market. Moreover, traders simply do not believe in a serious strengthening of the euro, and the US economy still looks much stronger and more stable than the EU economy. For today, the calendar of macroeconomic events of the countries of interest is absolutely empty to us.Therefore, one should not expect an increase in volatility.Nearest support levels:
