欧洲央行再次降息，通胀威胁加剧

上周，欧洲央行（ECB）行长和副行长在新闻发布会上谈到了影响最新利率决定的因素。欧洲央行行长克里斯蒂娜·拉加德决定将主要存款利率下调0.25%至3.5%，因为通胀问题依然令人担忧。

此决定是在通胀率预计将在2024年最后一个季度再次上升后作出的，此前通胀率有所下降，接近2%的目标。新闻发布会指出，工资增长过快是推动价格上涨的主要风险。

消息发布后，欧元兑美元升至1.11水平并测试下降趋势线。价格看似有可能突破下降旗形，近期测试1.12的潜在阻力。

欧元兑日元继续快速下跌，价格接近1.55枢纽位，该水平在上个月曾经有强劲需求。如果价格进一步下跌，可能会找到足够的需求，从而上涨并测试下降趋势线。

美国消费者信心超预期，信心增强

美国初步消费者信心指数为69，高于预测的68.3，也高于之前的67.9。信心增强的原因是年通胀预期从2.8%降至2.7%。此外，当前状况指数从61.3上升至62.9，消费者预期指数也有所改善。

数据显示发布后，美元兑日元快速下跌，测试140.50水平，该水平在今年一月曾有显著需求。随着价格进一步跌破140.50，预计该空头趋势将在此处找到支撑。
