On Thursday, the US Producer
Price Index is due.The report could add to evidence of softer inflation or, on the contrary, point to stickiness.

EUR/USD short-term technical outlook
The
EUR/USD surged more than a hundred pips on Wednesday and, so far, is up by 300 pips from last week’s level.Such a rally could warrant some consolidation or a correction; however, so far, no signs of the rally stalling are seen and risks remain tilted to the upside.The momentum remains positive, and more gains seem likely.
The next resistance levels are seen at 1.1160 and 1.1185.
The daily close above 1.1100 is the highest since March 2022 and suggests further gains ahead over the medium term.If the pair retraces, immediate support stands at 1.1095 and below at 1.1010.A slide under 1.1000 would negate the positive momentum, pointing to a consolidation or a deeper correction.
On the 4-hour chart, the EUR/USD is overbought, although it continues to look for a comfortable zone.Sooner or later, the rally will stall, but it is not clear if the Euro has reached that point yet.
