EUR/USD Surges Amid Dollar’s Slide: Fed Minutes Awaited Amidst Economic Data
The EUR/USD soared to a three-month high around 1.0950 as the US Dollar continued its downward trajectory, driven by market expectations of the Fed’s halted interest rate hikes and Wall Street’s buoyant stock prices. The US Dollar Index (DXY) hit a low of 103.45, seeking stability amidst its decline. Anticipation builds for the Fed’s meeting minutes while key US data on the Chicago Fed National Index and Existing Home Sales are on the horizon. Meanwhile, Europe gears up for the release of crucial preliminary November PMIs. Despite the risk-on sentiment favoring the EUR/USD, the US economy’s stronger performance against the Eurozone remains a fundamental support for the Dollar’s outlook.
In technical analysis, the EUR/USD is showing a strong upward trend on Monday, nearing the upper band of the Bollinger Bands. It’s currently trading just below this level, indicating the possibility of further upward movement. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 77 confirms a consistent bullish trend in the market.
Resistance: 1.1004, 1.1042
Support: 1.0937, 1.0885
XAU/USD Recovers from Dip Amid Dollar Vulnerability and Fed Expectations
Spot Gold faced a dip to $1,965 before bouncing back during the Asian session, indicating ongoing upside potential against a weakened US Dollar and decreasing Treasury yields. Despite the Greenback’s monthly lows and a subdued bond market, both Gold and Silver are not responding to the buoyant market sentiment. With anticipation building around the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes release, the prevailing belief that the Fed might have concluded its rate hikes is impacting the Dollar’s short-term prospects, sustaining the upside potential for Gold.
In technical terms, the analysis shows that XAU/USD is on an upward trajectory this Monday, targeting the upper band of the Bollinger Bands. The gold price is presently just under this band, suggesting a possible minor increase to reach the upper band. With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 62, it signals a continuing slight bullish trend for the XAU/USD pair.
Resistance: $1,992, $2,008
Support: $1,973, $1,955
