How can the IFO German Survey impact EUR/USD and when is it?

Overview of the German IFO Survey

The March business survey from Germany's IFO institute will be released on Wednesday at 9:00 GMT.
It is anticipated that the headline IFO-Business Climate Index would drop from 88.6 in February to 86.1 in March.
It is anticipated that the IFO-Current Assessment Index would drop from 86.7 to 86.0.
In contrast to the prior reading of 90.5, the IFO-Expectations Index is expected to reach 86.0 in the current month.

What impact might the German IFO Survey have on EUR/USD?


If the results of Germany's IFO Business Survey are as anticipated, EUR/USD may remain muted. The risk-sensitive pair suffers as the Euro (EUR) encounters difficulties due to the continuous unpredictability of the US-Iran peace talks.

The durability of the US dollar (USD) is indicative of its popularity as a safe haven in the face of ongoing global unpredictability. According to recent reports, diplomatic efforts are gathering momentum, with talks focused on putting in place a one-month ceasefire to make room for official talks between Tehran and Washington. According to reports, Iran has received a 15-point peace proposal from the Trump administration that aims to put an end to Middle East conflicts. Although a senior source confirmed that indirect communication channels have been active, Iranian officials have publicly rejected any formal breakthrough.

As of this writing, the EUR/USD is technically trading at about 1.1600. At 47, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates neutral momentum. This suggests that there is not much directional bias in the near future. The nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.1578 is the immediate support, and the 50-day EMA at 1.1672 is the initial resistance.
