Retail Sales Data Impact on USD - What to watch for.

Tomorrow's retail sales figures for the US are key. If they come in softer than expected, could we see a reversal in the current dollar strength, potentially pushing $EURUSD back above 1.1450?

I agree that softer retail sales would definitely put pressure on the dollar, but 1.1450 for EURUSD might be a bit ambitious unless we see a significant miss.

While retail sales are important, I think the market is also heavily weighing inflation expectations and Fed commentary. A softer number might only be a temporary dip for the dollar if other indicators remain strong.

Good point. I'm wondering if a 'softer than expected' could still be positive on an absolute basis, and how much of that is already priced in. Always tricky with these key releases.
