On March 12 we have the hotly anticipated US CPI print. So, here’s the outlook on the US CPI report coming up. Markets expect headline CPI to rise around 0.4% in February, and core inflation to go up by about 0.3%. Traders are getting more hawkish on rate hikes after January’s CPI jump, and they’ll be keeping a close eye on February’s numbers to fine-tune their predictions. The market’s currently betting on three rate cuts this year, with a decent chance of a fourth.

Fed Chair Powell recently mentioned that inflation has eased a bit lately, but they’re not rushing to cut rates until they’re sure inflation’s heading sustainably towards their target of 2%, so a big miss to the upside in the data here could send the USD sharply higher again after last week’s dollar falls!

Keep an eye out for these numbers – they could shake things up a bit!

The major trade risk here is due to the event itself with surprising readings likely to increase the volatility of any EURUSD moves
