Pressure on euro returned after news emerged that inflation in the eurozone fell in February. However, the need for further aggressive policy from the European Central Bank remains, as underlying prices have continued to rise, which is not good. As such, the bank will carry on raising rates to actively fight rising prices and make euro more attractive to investors.

Important data from the US is expected in the afternoon, which could provide support to dollar. Good US industrial production figures, rising US consumer expectations and sentiment indices from the University of Michigan are likely to return demand for dollar, which will weaken euro and pound and lead to a correction in both of them later in the week.
