On the macro front, Euro-zone’s consumer price inflation slowed to 0.7% on a yearly basis in March, driven by fall in energy prices and compared to a level of 1.2% in the prior month.

In the Asian session, at GMT0300, the pair is trading at 1.0862, with the EUR trading marginally lower against the USD from Friday’s close.
The pair is expected to find support at 1.0818, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 1.0775. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 1.0899, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 1.0937.
Looking forward, investors would keep a watch on Euro-zone’s current account and trade balance, both for February, along with Germany’s producer price index for March, slated to release in a few hours. Later in the day, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index for March, would keep investors on their toes.
