The good demand for commodity currencies plus a re-rating of the Real, Rand and Shekel seem to suggest that investors could be moving onto their next big thing – which is the cyclical Dollar decline in the second half of the year. That happens to be our baseline view and one of the reasons we think EUR/USD will find a base in the 1.05/1.07 area this month before pushing to 1.15+ by year-end.

Beyond the US data and the Fed meeting, this week's focus will be on Thursday's ECB meeting. It seems too early for the ECB to drop its inflation guard, but a hawkish Fed story could be dominating and EUR/USD could see a retest of last week's low at 1.0635.
