Yesterday, the greenback received a helping hand from the upbeat US economic data. The price recovered as the United States Flash Manufacturing PMI reached 50.3 points versus the expected 47.6 points, confirming expansion. Meanwhile, the Flash Services PMI jumped from 51.4 points to 52.9 points, announcing further expansion.

Today, the European Central Bank should drive the markets. The Main Refinancing Rate should remain at 4.50%, but the Monetary Policy Statement and the ECB Press Conference could change the sentiment.

Furthermore, the US will release key economic data, so the fundamentals could be decisive. The Advance GDP may announce a 2.0% growth, less compared to the 4.9% growth in the previous reporting period. Furthermore, the Unemployment Claims, Advance GDP Price Index, Durable Goods Orders, Core Durable Goods Orders, and New Home Sales data will also be released. Tomorrow, the Japanese Tokyo Core CPI, Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes, and the US Core PCE Price Index should move the price.
