The U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will testify before the joint economic committee of the Congress. The European Commission will report the eurozone's September industrial production (-0.2% on month expected).

Even after the moderate surge, the EUR/USD currency pair still unsafe and risks dropping below the 1.1000 range, after the weakness in the Chinese Yuan vs. the greenback, because of trade uncertainty affected China's economic recession fears continue to leave a negative impact on the Chinese currency. It should be recorded that China is the biggest exporter in the Europe market. 

Ahead of the U.S. inflation report, the German Final CPI figures, Eurozone Industrial Production data, and trade developments will likely give some trading impetus to the prices. However, the significant event risk for Wednesday continues Powell's testimony on the economic outlook before the congressional Joint Economic Committee, which is scheduled at 1600 GMT.
