EURUSD Goes for Profitable Month but Monetary Policy Unfavorable

The pair made a strong start to the final week of May, heading towards its first profitable month of the year. This gives it the chance to push for 1.0981, but we are cautious around further gains, as the monetary policy differential is unfavorable. As such, we can see renewed pressure towards the EMA200 (black line) and daily closes would reinstate the bearish bias, but there are multiple roadblock below it. Markets now brace for Friday’s US PCE and Eurozone’s preliminary CPI inflation updates that can shape rate expectations and determine the pair's next move.

The European Central Bank looks ready to become the first major institution to pivot and cut rates at next week’s meeting and Monday’s commentary from at least two officials pointed to such action. The path beyond is far from guaranteed though, as policymakers have generally warned against back-to back moves.

The US Fed on the other hand has adopted a higher-for-longer narrative, since the disinflation process has slowed this year, while the labor market is robust and the economy strong. There is volatility around the rate path expectations, but markets currently see only one cut as the most likely outcome and have pushed back its timing to November.
