The US dollar declined on the wave of sales, after strengthening for quite some time. Nevertheless, it still maintains its position relative to its competitors in the market.
In terms of yesterday's economic calendar, Europe published its preliminary inflation data, which was expected to rise from 0.9% to 1.0%. But as a result, inflation remained unchanged at 0.9%, which positively affected Euro's value.
In turn, Britain and the United States did not release its statistics.
What happened on the trading chart?
During a sharp decline from last week's high of 1.2242, the EUR/USD pair reached an important psychological level of 1.2000, where a stop occurred on a natural basis. This resulted in a price rebound towards the level of 1.2100, which was quite expected in the market.
The trading recommendation about the price rebound from the level of 1.2000 completely coincided. So, traders received profit of 50-90 pips (50-90 dollars with a transaction volume of 1 lot).
The GBP/USD pair continues to direct market participants below the psychological level of 1.3950/1.4000/1.4050, which repeatedly serve as a resistance.
If the price moves below this area, sellers will have more chances to further weaken the pound's rate.
