1. Forex Market Insight     

EUR/USD 

Last week, the EUR/USD retreated from Thursday’s high of 1.0868, but still closed near 1.0833. Data on Friday, 13th January 2023, showed that core inflation in Spain rose to a record high of 7% in December 2022, exceeding headline inflation (5.7%) for the first time.  

In other eurozone countries, a favorable base in the energy component is expected to lead to a further decline in headline inflation for the coming months, but inflationary pressures in the rest of the economy will remain high.  

For this reason, the ECB will focus mainly on whether core inflation continues to cool. Hence, the ECB will be cautious to talk about policy adjustments until core inflation starts to fall.

Technical Analysis:
