Analysis and trading tips for EUR/USD and GBP/USD on March 15 (US session)

Euro and pound saw a correction ahead of the important retail sales data from the US.

The market was rather quiet in the morning as traders are not yet willing to buy, while speculators were forced to close long positions due to uncertainty over how the UK budget and its approval will unfold, as well as what the real US retail sales data will be. A decline in the latter is very much expected, which, if really happens, will prompt a rise in euro and pound in the afternoon. But if the data points to a sharp increase in sales, pressure will return, which will lead to a fall in both EUR/USD and GBP/USD.
