FX.co ★ Analysis and trading tips for EUR/USD and GBP/USD on April 12 (US session)

The attempts to reach the first target levels were unsuccessful as volatility was low this morning. But later on, there will be reports on US CPI and core inflation, which may prompt large movements in the market. Declines that are more than expected will cause a very sharp rise in euro, while an increase or no change in the figure will lead to a significant drop. The Fed minutes will not be of great importance because it is already clear to everyone that the committee's position remains unchanged and is aimed at combating high prices.
