On Thursday, the US Labor Department published a weekly update on unemployment benefits. The data turned out to be worse than analysts' expectations. The number of continued unemployment claims increased from 1,860 million to 1,905 million. Besides, the number of initial applications for benefits rose from 202K to 215K. Despite the signs of weakness in the labor market, the US dollar asserted its strength across the board. Perhaps the reason for the greenback's growth was expectations of a decline in inflation in the Eurozone. The inflation report will be available on Friday.
The EUR/USD pair again reached the level of 1.0800, where traders cut on short positions was observed. Judging by the speculative price swings, the instrument will soon quit the range between 1.0800 and 1.0850.
The GBP/USD pair has been following a downtrend from the resistance level of 1.2700. As a result, the instrument is approaching the support level of 1.2600.
Today, the preliminary inflation data for the EU will be released. The annual CPI is expected to slip to 2.5% in February from 2.8% in January. This may contribute to the US dollar's advance.
If EUR/USD settles below 1.0800, traders will add more short positions. Consequently, the instrument will trade lower. Until then, the realistic scenario is a climb to 1.0850.
To enable a further increase in short positions, GBP/USD needs to settle below 1.2600. Otherwise, this level will be viewed by traders as support. In turn, this will encourage a gradual recovery in the pound sterling.
