EUR/USD drops to as low as 1.2184 so far and the break of 1.2214 support revived the case of medium term reversal. Intraday bias remains on the downside for 1.2514 support first. Decisive break there will confirm the bearish case and target 161.8% projection of 1.2475 to 1.2214 from 1.2413 at 1.1991. On the upside, 1.2250 minor resistance will turn bias neutral first. But risk will now stay on the downside as long as 1.2413 resistance holds. |  | | GMT | Ccy | Events | Actual | Forecast | Previous | Revised | | 23:50 | JPY | Corporate Service Price Y/Y Mar | 0.50% | 0.50% | 0.60% | 0.70% | | 1:30 | AUD | CPI Q/Q Q1 | 0.40% | 0.50% | 0.60% | | | 1:30 | AUD | CPI Y/Y Q1 | 1.90% | 2.00% | 1.90% | | | 1:30 | AUD | CPI RBA Trimmed Mean Q/Q Q1 | 0.50% | 0.50% | 0.40% | | | 1:30 | AUD | CPI RBA Trimmed Mean Y/Y Q1 | 1.90% | 1.80% | 1.80% | | | 1:30 | AUD | CPI RBA Weighted Median Q/Q Q1 | 0.50% | 0.50% | 0.40% | 0.50% | | 1:30 | AUD | CPI RBA Weighted Median Y/Y Q1 | 2.00% | 1.90% | 2.00% | | | 6:00 | CHF | Trade Balance (CHF) Mar | | 3.23B | 3.14B | | | 8:00 | EUR | German IFO Business Climate Apr | | 102.8 | 103.2 | | | 8:00 | EUR | German IFO Expectations Apr | | 99.5 | 100.1 | | | 8:00 | EUR | German IFO Current Assessment Apr | | 106 | 106.5 | | | 8:30 | GBP | Public Sector Net Borrowing (GBP) Mar | | 1.1B | -0.3B | | | 10:00 | GBP | CBI Trends Total Orders Apr | | 4 | 4 | | | 13:00 | USD | House Price Index M/M Feb | | 0.60% | 0.80% | | | 13:00 | USD | S&P/Case-Shiller Composite-20 Y/Y Feb | | 6.30% | 6.40% | | | 14:00 | USD | New Home Sales Mar | | 625K | 618K | | | 14:00 | USD | Consumer Confidence Index Apr | | 126 | 127.7 | | | | |
