Therefore, analysts at ING believe that the bank will hike by 125 basis points in the first half of the year. It will then hold rates at that point until 2024. Their view reinforced what the Finnish central bank governor said last week. He believes that the ECB should stay its course on rate hikes.

Recent data and news have hinted that Europe will avoid the recession that most analysts were afraid about.

At the same time, winter was much warmer than expected and flows of LNG from the US and other sources has increased sharply in the past few months.The EUR/USD pair has been in a bullish trend in the past few weeks.
Therefore, the pair will likely retreat slightly and retest the key support at 1.0717. The stop-loss of this trade will be at 1.085.
