EUR/USD Long, Focus Turns To Eurozone Inflation Data

Political developments in Italy continue to weigh on EUR/USD, but investors may turn their focus to Eurozone inflation data. Our economists estimate a strong rebound in Eurozone HICP, which should support EUR recovery in the near term.

The Bank of Canada is likely to keep rates on hold today. We think that any upward moves should be used as fresh opportunities to get USD/CAD short.
