EURUSD trades around 60 pips above parity and the dollar is generally oversold ahead of the CPI release
US CPI inflation for June data will be released today at 1:30 pm BST. The expectations point to a higher reading of 8.8% y / y compared to previous reading of 8.6% y / y. In turn, core inflation is to drop slightly to 5.7% y / y from 6.0% y / y. Today's inflation reading will give us more hints in what to expect from the Federal Reserve's July decision. There have been several indications of a slowdown in inflation recently, but it seems the Fed, in order to remain credible, will want to demonstrate that it will fight inflation until it sees clear signs that price pressure is retreating.
When it comes to the inflation reading, the most important thing is the costs of services. Along with rising raw material prices and tensions in the supply chain, the prices of almost all products rise sharply. As you can see, recently we have seen slight declines in contribution from goods, which results from the decline in commodity prices. On the other hand, energy continues to drive up inflation and the situation does not seem to change any time soon. Source: Bloomberg

The lowest was 8.1%. Therefore, the dollar could strengthen if inflation broke the level of 9.0%, which could lead to an increase in interest rates by 100 bp. On the other hand, a smaller hike of around 50 bp could be possible if inflation fell to around 8%, which seems unlikely at the moment.
EURUSD is trading around 60 pips above parity. Range of the largest correction in the trend in the last two weeks indicates that a key resistance is located around 1.0110. However, to achieve this level, the CPI would have to fall sharply towards 8% level. In turn, breaking the parity could be possible with inflation reading above 9%. Source: xStation5
