EUR/USD Holds Ground Amidst Dollar Pressure and ECB Speculation
The EUR/USD pair showed resilience, edging up after a recent dip, finding support above the 20-day SMA, and hovering above 1.0900 in a subdued market atmosphere. The US Dollar faced bearish pressures following the Federal Reserve’s dovish tone, although rate cuts seem distant despite initial forecasts. Meanwhile, in the Eurozone, lower-than-expected IFO business survey readings in Germany and steady but moderate inflation figures have raised expectations of potential ECB rate cuts, capping the Euro’s upward momentum below the 1.1030 mark. The market awaits the US Core PCE Price Index report for further cues on the greenback’s trajectory.
On Friday, the EUR/USD moved flat and moved around the middle band of the Bollinger Bands. Currently, the price moving slightly below the middle band, suggesting a potential for another consolidation movement. Notably, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) maintains its position at 57, signaling a neutral but still bullish outlook for this currency pair.
Resistance: 1.0945, 1.1017
Support: 1.0895, 1.0830
XAU/USD Maintain Soft Tone Amid Fed’s Stance on Monetary Policy and Market Optimism
Gold prices for XAU/USD held marginally above Friday’s closure at $2,018.19 per troy ounce despite subdued demand for the US Dollar triggered by softer government bond yields following the Fed’s decision to halt monetary tightening. The Fed’s stance, marking a pivot toward potential rate cuts, caused a retreat in US Treasury yields, notably the 10-year note, which currently stands at 3.95%. Wall Street’s positive performance limited the safe-haven appeal of the Greenback, constraining upward movement for gold. However, as financial markets approach the winter holidays, attention turns to upcoming inflation updates from the UK, Canada, and the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy decision, culminating with the US releasing the Core PCE Price Index, anticipated to show a slight decrease in November’s YoY inflation.
On Friday, XAU/USD moved in consolidation around the middle band of the Bollinger Bands. Currently, the price moving just below the middle band, suggesting a potential consolidation movement. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 53, signaling a neutral outlook for this pair.
Resistance: $2,041, $2,068
Support: $2,008, $1,985
