The EUR/USD pair has corrected sharply to near the psychological support of 1.1000 in the early Tokyo session amid a recovery move in the US Dollar. The Euro remained under pressure on Monday after worse German Industrial Orders data. The economic data fell by 10.7%, suffering heavily from global interest rate hikes, which have impacted demand for automobiles. Also, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures, Retail Sales, and exports were downbeat in March, strengthening signs of recession in the economy.
S&P500 futures are showing nominal losses in the Asian session after a choppy trade, portraying caution ahead of US debt ceiling talks. The US Dollar Index (DXY) is looking to extend its recovery above 101.40 as the focus has shifted to the US Inflation data, which is scheduled for Wednesday.

A sideways action from the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around 1.1024 is hinting at a lackluster performance by the shared currency pair.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) is oscillating in the 40.00-60.00 range, signaling that investors are awaiting a potential trigger for decisive action.
