The euro and the pound soared after reports revealed that U.S. inflation dropped significantly in March this year.

The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined in March compared to February, contrary to economists' expectations of an increase. This significantly weakened the U.S. dollar. The unexpected deflationary trend sparked discussions in financial circles, prompting traders to revise their forecasts regarding the Federal Reserve's future monetary policy. Lower inflation may push the Fed toward a more proactive stance on cutting interest rates, which, in turn, would make the dollar less attractive to yield-seeking investors. However, some experts caution against hasty conclusions, noting that one month of data is insufficient to confirm a sustainable trend—especially under the current trade tariffs recently introduced by Trump.

It's important to remember that Trump has only suspended 20% of tariffs for 90 days. The 10% tariffs previously imposed remain entirely in effect.

Today may bring further gains for the euro, fueled by data showing an increase in both the Consumer Price Index and the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices for Germany, calculated to EU standards. The Eurogroup meeting will also attract market participants' attention.

The Eurogroup meeting, where finance ministers from eurozone countries will discuss the economic outlook and agree on policy measures, could influence the euro's behavior. Comments from meeting participants regarding economic prospects and fiscal strategy will provide investors with clues about the euro's future. Positive signals could give the single currency additional momentum.

The British pound may strengthen due to positive UK GDP data, industrial production, and a favorable trade balance.

The Mean Reversion strategy is preferred if the data matches economists' expectations. The Momentum strategy is more appropriate if the data significantly exceeds or falls short of expectations.
