- ECB rate call may shift EU50
- Eurozone CPI key for GER40 trend reversal
- US NFP sets tone for EURUSD break or bounce
- Geopolitical risks drive cross-asset moves
- Diverging policies keep markets hypersensitive
This week’s economic data from both sides of the Atlantic, along with the ECB’s rate decision, will guide European markets. Expect volatility across EURUSD, GER40, and EU50 as traders react to inflation print, policy signals, and shifting risk sentiment.
Ongoing trade tensions and diverging central bank paths heighten sensitivity to external shocks, making geopolitical risks and cross-asset moves key drivers in the days ahead. Careful positioning will be essential in navigating the uncertain macro landscape.
Events Watchlist:
Tuesday, June 3rd: European inflation – GER40 Index
Eurozone inflation data will be in focus for its impact on ECB policy expectations. A hotter print could boost the euro and pressure export-heavy German stocks, potentially dragging the GER40 below its 21-day SMA. Conversely, a softer reading may lift the index towards new highs.

Thursday, June 5th: ECB Interest rate decision – EU50 Index
All eyes will be on the ECB’s interest rate decision and forward guidance. A dovish tone may propel the EU50 Index above 5,470 level, while any hints of policy uncertainty could weigh on sentiment, potentially pulling the index toward 100-day SMA.

Friday, June 6th: US Non-farm payrolls – EURUSD
The US Non-Farm Payrolls report could set the tone for EURUSD currency pair. A strong print may strengthen the dollar, pushing the pair toward the lower end of Bloomberg’s 7-day projected range (1.1235–1.1539; 73.6% probability). However, softer data, could support the EUR, potentially pushing EURUSD towards 1.1420.
