EUR/USD Inches Up Amidst Low Volume Consolidation: Eurozone Data Insights and ECB Outlook
The EUR/USD saw a modest rise amidst low trading volume, hovering around 1.0900 while the US Dollar Index weakened slightly, fostering support for the pair amid subdued market activity. Eurozone PMI figures showed improvements in both the Manufacturing and Services sectors, yet remaining below the growth threshold. The data initially boosted the Euro but lacked sustained momentum due to minimal trading. The upcoming German GDP report and ZEW survey are anticipated to impact market sentiment. ECB’s recent meeting minutes revealed a consensus on maintaining policy rates and addressing heightened economic uncertainty. Despite ECB President Lagarde and council members slated to speak, clear insights into monetary policy adjustments aren’t expected, especially amid the US market’s closure for Thanksgiving, likely leading to thin trading conditions.
On Thursday, the EUR/USD moved flat as the US market holiday. Currently, the price is moving just below the middle band of the Bollinger Bands with a potential of moving in consolidation as the US market will also close earlier today. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stays at 54 which reflects a neutral position for the currency pair.
Resistance: 1.0956, 1.1004
Support: 1.0885, 1.0832
XAU/USD Struggles to Hold $2,000 Amidst Quiet Trading Session
Gold Spot experienced a fluctuating journey, initially surging towards $2,000 in the Asian session, propelled by a weaker US Dollar, only to retract gains and settle around $1,990 during American hours amid limited trading activity with US markets closed. Despite benefiting from increased risk appetite and a weakening dollar, bolstered by favorable Eurozone PMIs, the precious metal fell short of reclaiming the $2,000 mark. With expectations of continued thin trading and a shortened US market session on Friday, Gold faces a landscape favoring consolidation, although the bullish bias persists for XAU/USD.
On Thursday, the XAU/USD moved flat as the US market holiday. Currently, the price is moving just below the middle band of the Bollinger Bands with a potential of moving in consolidation as the US market will also close earlier today.

Resistance: $1,996, $2,008
Support: $1,988, $1,973
