The EUR/USD pair is currently around 1.0850, supported by strong Eurozone GDP data and rising German inflation, which have delayed expectations for European Central Bank rate cuts. Eurozone GDP grew by 0.9% in Q3, and Germany's economy avoided recession with a 0.2% rise. As traders look ahead to U.S. economic indicators and the upcoming presidential election, any developments could significantly impact market sentiment and direction.
EUR/USD Rises on Strong Eurozone Data and Eyes U.S. Developments
Market Overview
The EUR/USD pair currently holds near 1.0850, buoyed by strong Eurozone GDP data and elevated German inflation. This rally has temporarily paused rate-cut expectations for the European Central Bank (ECB) ahead of its December meeting. Despite a bullish streak, the pair remains cautious, with broader sentiment tethered to the approaching U.S. presidential election and other U.S. economic indicators that may shift market direction.
Eurozone and German Data Strengthen the Euro
Recent Eurozone growth data brought optimism as the region's GDP expanded 0.9% annually in Q3. Germany, crucially, sidestepped recession with a 0.2% rise in GDP, surpassing expectations and providing a solid contribution to the overall Eurozone performance. On inflation, Germany's Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) showed acceleration at 2.4%, which may pressure the ECB to reconsider its dovish stance.
ECB President Christine Lagarde remains cautiously optimistic, signaling potential for inflation control but refraining from specific rate-cut commitments. Today’s upcoming Eurozone HICP data will be closely monitored for further inflation insights.
U.S. Election and Economic Data on the Horizon
As the U.S. Dollar softens, traders keep an eye on upcoming data, including the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) and ISM Manufacturing PMI figures on Friday, and the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index today. Additionally, market sentiment around the U.S. election is intensifying, with investors factoring in a possible Trump win. Such an outcome could lead to higher U.S. tariffs on EU imports, potentially pressuring the Eurozone’s export economy.
Technical Outlook
EUR/USD’s recovery has breached the 1.0800 mark, now targeting resistance at the 200-day EMA around 1.0900. While the pair’s trend remains bearish, a sustained rise above 1.0900 could pave the way toward the next major resistance at 1.1000. However, if bearish momentum re-emerges, support near 1.0750 could be tested.
