EUR/USD may continue to appreciate ahead of the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting on September 7 as the pair finally fills the January-2015 (1.2000 down to 1.1955).

The U.S. dollar remains under pressure following the Kansas City Fed Economic Symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, as the market participants push out bets for the next rate-hike. A look at Fed Fund Futures suggest Chair Janet Yellen and Co. will wait until the June 2018 to implement higher borrowing-costs, and the central bank may highlight a more shallow path for the benchmark interest rate amid the growing uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook.

In contrast, the Euro may face a more bullish fate as the ECB adopts an upbeat tone and appears to be on course to taper the asset-purchase program ahead of the December deadline. In turn, President Mario Draghiand Co. may gradually move away from the easing cycle and alter the monetary policy outlook over the coming months as ‘reflationary forces, which referred to the recovery of inflation from levels below its long-term trend, had replaced risks of deflation.’
