EUR/USD clings to 1.1250, looks past data

EUR/USD continues to hover around 1.1250/60 unable to set intraday direction despite disappointing US consumer price data and comments from Fed’s Lockhart saying he will no longer advocate for a rate hike in April, but sees two or three hikes this year as possible.

EUR/USD dipped to a low of 1.1233 during the European session but found support, and has spent the rest of the day in a slim range, as most pairs. At time of writing, EUR/USD is trading at 1.1258, 0.15% below its opening price.

On the data front, Eurozone CPI came in at 1.2% in annual basis, matching market’s expectations while US consumer inflation rose 0.9% in March, below the 1.2% of forecast.
