UNLOCK OFFEREUR/USD Current Price: 1.1832
- Coronavirus concerns and the US presidential election to remain in the spotlight.
- Financial markets to continue to seesaw between covid concerns and vaccine hopes.
- EUR/USD is technically neutral-to-bullish could advance towards 1.1920.
The EUR/USD pair finished the week with losses around 1.1830, although up on Friday for a second consecutive day. Equities rallied, underpinning the demand for the shared currency, while the dollar was hit by dismal US data and the announcement of restrictive measures in some states. The preliminary estimate of the US November Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index printed at 77, below the 82 expected and the previous 81.8. Meanwhile, coronavirus outbreaks across the US have led several cities and states to announce curfews and temporal lockdowns.
The macroeconomic calendar will remain light on Monday, as no relevant data will come from Europe and the US. Instead, the market’s sentiment will likely continue seesawing between rising coronavirus cases and hopes for a vaccine/more stimulus. Also, speculative interest will be looking for fresh clues on definitions of the tumultuous US presidential election.
