The euro rose to a near nine-month high of 1.0867 against the dollar before finally settling at 1.0852, up 0.83% on the day.  

The hawkish message from ECB officials continues, with four officials recently calling for continued interest rate hikes, and the ECB’s firm attitude towards rate hikes has given the euro corresponding support.

GBP Intraday Trend Analysis  

Fundamental Analysis：   

The British pound rose 0.51% against the dollar to 1.2210, after touching an intraday high of 1.2247. The pound rose yesterday, thanks entirely to the continued decline in the U.S. inflation rate in December. 

The further decline in the inflation rate reinforced investors’ expectations that the Fed will move into a tapered rate hike phase. 

This is why the dollar has fallen sharply. If there is no big negative news from the UK in the near future, the pound may continue to maintain an upward trend against the dollar.
