Eurozone economic data delivered a mixed picture, with German Retail Sales unexpectedly falling short of estimates in October. However, the German Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for November surprised to the upside, nearing the 3% threshold. In France, third-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) aligned with both estimates and the preliminary reading, while Spain's HICP similarly exceeded the 3% mark.
A prior review of the European Central Bank (ECB) policy meeting minutes indicated that policymakers judged the economic and inflation outlook to be broadly consistent with the September baseline projection, albeit with high uncertainty remaining. Members agreed that maintaining interest rates unchanged remained appropriate, as recent data had not materially altered the medium-term assessment and the distribution of risks around inflation was generally balanced.
In the U.S, the ISM Manufacturing PMI softened to 48.2 in November from 48.7 in October, marking the ninth consecutive month the U.S. industrial sector has been in contraction territory and falling short of the 48.6 forecast. Breaking down the details, the Employment sub-index plunged deeper into contraction, slipping from 46 to 44, pointing to weakening labor market momentum. Furthermore, the New Orders Index fell to 47.4, signaling a third straight month of contracting demand. The only component showing resilience was the Prices Paid Index, which rose to 58.5, indicating continuous cost pressures for businesses.
Following the latest round of weaker U.S. economic data, traders have aggressively increased their bets on interest rate cuts in December, with the probability now standing at 87%, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. In political news, rumors have surfaced suggesting that White House National Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett could be named as the next Fed Chair. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed he has made his choice but stated: "We will be announcing it."
U.S. inflation indicators showed signs of stabilization in September. The Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 2.7% year-over-year (YoY), suggesting that wholesale price pressures have leveled off. However, consumer activity appeared to weaken, with Retail Sales rising only 0.2% month-over-month (MoM) in September, a noticeable slowdown from the 0.6% increase in August. Compounding this, the Conference Board reported that household sentiment deteriorated significantly in November, with Consumer Confidence dropping 6.8 points to 88.7 from 95.5 in October.
Technical Analysis
The EUR/USD pair has encountered stiff resistance at the 1.1645 level, a point where it has faced strong bearish reactions on previous occasions. If this pattern of rejection repeats, a downward correction is highly probable. The failure to achieve a new higher high suggests that the underlying bearish trend may still be in control. This corrective move could initiate from the 1.1645 resistance, targeting the ascending trendline support, which converges near the 1.1511 support zone.
The 100-period and 200-period Moving Averages (MAs) are located at 1.1560 and 1.1585, respectively. A decisive close below these MA levels would accelerate the bearish impulse toward the trendline. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 66; while not yet in the extreme overbought zone, it is high enough to warrant caution. This suggests that one final push to retest the 1.1645 resistance is possible before a full correction begins. However, a strong, decisive break and close above the 1.1645 resistance would invalidate the bearish setup, opening the path for a more sustained upward movement.
