20.03.202312:51 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Analysis and trading tips for EUR/USD and GBP/USD on March 20 (US session)

Pressure on euro returned after news emerged that producer prices in Germany fell in February. However, the decline was not as large as many economists had expected, so the need for further aggressive policy from the European Central Bank remains. In addition, core inflation data from the eurozone generally pointed to higher prices. Pound also managed to hold its ground and is now heading towards the monthly high. And since there are no US reports scheduled to be released this afternoon, markets will focus on the upcoming speech by ECB President Christine Lagarde.
