This pair will remain in sharp focus for these reasons alone, but also have the ECB rate decision and key data from the US to look forward to as well. The EUR/USD forecast is therefore subject to great uncertainty, but for now it looks like the path of least resistance is to the upside. Mexico, Canada, and China tariffs go into effect but what about Europe?

EUR/JPY and USD/JPY could be more attractive for Yen-strength scenarios, but the driver behind that has taken a step back after last Thursday’s Tokyo CPI numbers.
