EUR/USD: Upside is capped around 0.9950
EUR/USD falls sharply and revisits the area below 0.9900 after a similarly sudden rebound in the dollar, all in response to better than expected results from the US ISM Manufacturing for the month of October ( 50.2).
Indeed, the results only reinforce the view of a resilient US economy at a time when some Fed rate-setters have hinted at the possible start of a debate about whether to slow the pace of following rate hikes as early as the December meeting.
Other releases on the US calendar included construction spending, which unexpectedly rose 0.2% mom in September, the latest S&P global manufacturing PMI, which came in at 50.4 (also beating estimates), and deals of JOLT employment, which increased to 10.717 million also in September.
What to watch out for around the euro
Initial optimism in the risk complex lifted EUR/USD to the 0.9950/55 area on Tuesday, only to fizzle out shortly thereafter following upbeat US calendar results.
Meanwhile, price action around the European currency is expected to closely follow dollar dynamics, geopolitical concerns and the divergence between the Fed and the ECB. However, the resurgence of speculation around a possible Fed pivot appears to have taken some of the sting out of the latter.
In addition, growing speculation about a possible recession in the region – which seems to be underpinned by the decline in sentiment indicators, as well as the incipient slowdown in some fundamental variables – adds to the fragile long-term sentiment around the euro.
