UNLOCK OFFEREUR/USD Current Price: 1.1902
- Mixed US data provides support to high-yielding assets.
- Brexit-related concerns temporarily interrupted the dollar’s slide.
- EUR/USD is neutral-to-bullish in the near-term, could reach 1.2011.
The EUR/USD pair peaked at 1.1929 during European trading hours, as the upbeat mood continues. The pair suffered a knee-jerk and fell to 1.1881 from such a high, as discouraging Brexit headlines gave the greenback a temporal lift. European Commission´s leader Ursula von der Leyen said that she cannot tell if in the end there will be a Brexit trade deal.
The EU didn’t publish relevant data, but the US has offered a good number of macroeconomic figures. Durable Goods Orders were up 1.3% in October, beating expectations, while the core reading printed at 0.7% against the 0.5% forecast. Q3 economic growth was confirmed at 33.1%, while Initial Jobless Claims for the week ended November 20 came in worse than expected, up to 778K. Mixed news had a limited effect on currencies, with the dollar down within range against the shared currency.
