At the moment, EURUSD has met stiff resistance around 1,280, triggering a corrective contraction amid a sideline around the dollar and growing rumors about US tariffs for products from the European Union.
In fact, after Donald Trump's comments that the United States could introduce European Union product tariffs worth $1 billion, speculation began about a larger trade war that could ultimately cover the EU automotive sector.
Data on the status of retail sales in Italy is set to be released today.
The euro remains under pressure after the release of weak fundamental indicators in the eurozone and strong dollar growth in the past few weeks. Against the background of a declining risk appetite, the dollar should rise in tandem with the euro.
