Key Quotes
“Core inflation may have picked up somewhat from February, and we could see a 0.1%-pt increase to 0.9% y-o-y in this initial estimate. Such a slight increase in core inflation could further underpin the EUR for the time being, keeping the EUR/USD pair trading around its current 1.133 levels, while the market will probably wait for the outcome of tomorrow’s employment report.”
