The EUR/USD pair has surged toward 1.0900 amid a weakened U.S. Dollar, as markets await critical events in the U.S. this week: the presidential election and a possible rate cut from the Federal Reserve. Polls now show a slight advantage for Harris over Trump, adding to USD volatility. The Fed’s upcoming policy decision could further impact the dollar as investors assess future rate guidance.
EUR/USD Market Call: Gains Expected as Key Events Approach
U.S. Dollar Weakness Drives EUR/USD Rally
EUR/USD has strengthened, approaching 1.0900, as the U.S. Dollar faces selling pressure before Tuesday’s presidential election and the Fed’s policy decision on Thursday. The latest Iowa poll places Harris ahead by three points, contributing to a decline in the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which has dropped below 103.70. This political uncertainty has spurred demand for risk-sensitive currencies like the Euro.
Fed’s Rate Cut Outlook Pressures U.S. Dollar
The Federal Reserve is expected to announce a 25-basis-point rate cut, bringing borrowing rates to the 4.50%-4.75% range. The market has largely priced in this cut, but investors remain attentive to Fed guidance for December, which could signal additional rate reductions in the near term. The rate cut would likely support the EUR/USD, as lower U.S. rates decrease the dollar's appeal relative to the Euro.
Technical Analysis: EUR/USD Eyes Resistance Break at 1.0900
EUR/USD is trading near 1.0900, aligning with its 200-day EMA and indicating potential for further upside. The 14-day RSI has rebounded to around 50.00, suggesting that bearish momentum may be fading. If EUR/USD breaks above 1.0900, it could target 1.1000, the September low, as the next key level. However, a downside move could see support near 1.0760, a critical point for Euro bulls.
Upcoming Data and Events to Watch
Investors should monitor Tuesday’s U.S. ISM Services PMI data, forecasted to decline to 53.5, indicating slower expansion. For the Euro, October’s PMI data and November’s Sentix Investor Confidence report may influence sentiment. Additionally, speeches from ECB officials could provide further clues on European rate policy amid persistent inflation.
This week’s events create a supportive environment for the Euro, as U.S. Dollar weakness persists ahead of the election and Fed meeting. Investors are advised to watch for key levels in the EUR/USD as the pair navigates this period of heightened volatility.
