The desk anticipates a hawkish tone from ECB officials at the annual Sintra forum, reinforcing expectations of an interest rate hike this year. Per the full note from the research team at ING, ECB President Christine Lagarde's opening remarks have set a constructive tone, likely echoed by other speakers. Today's US data, particularly an expectation of a stronger consumer confidence print at 97.5, may further support the dollar as overall bullish momentum depreciates. With the current EUR/USD spot at 1.1700, traders should be aware of how market sentiment could shift based on further ECB communications and upcoming economic data.
