The euro, the pound, and other risk assets have strengthened on positive news about the Middle East.

Good news regarding preparations for negotiations aimed at ending the war between the U.S., Iran, Israel, and Lebanon has undoubtedly supported risk assets. This news has been a breath of fresh air amid prolonged geopolitical tensions that have pressured the global economy and energy markets for a long time. Expectations for conflict resolution have generated a wave of optimism, which in turn has reflected on financial markets. Negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are expected on April 11, while discussions between Israel and Lebanon are scheduled for April 14. The reduction in geopolitical risks further diminishes demand for safe havens such as the U.S. dollar, thereby stimulating capital inflows into higher-yielding but more volatile assets, including the euro and the British pound.

Today, traders' attention will be focused on the release of macroeconomic indicators from the Eurozone. In particular, data on the consumer price index (CPI) in Germany is expected, which is one of the main indicators of inflation trends in Europe's largest economy. High inflation levels could put pressure on the European Central Bank, pushing it towards a tighter monetary policy, which, in turn, could affect the value of the euro.

Simultaneously, the market is awaiting data on changes in Italy's industrial production. This indicator reflects the state of the country's manufacturing sector, which plays a significant role in the Eurozone economy.

There are no reports scheduled for the United Kingdom, so it is likely that the GBP/USD pair will trade in a narrow sideways channel during the first half of the day.

If the data aligns with economists' expectations, it is best to act based on the Mean Reversion strategy. If the data is significantly above or below economists' expectations, the Momentum strategy is preferable.
