EUR/USD gains 0.81% to 1.0574, bolstered by ECB comments
US data failed to underpin the Greenback, which appreciated some 5.50% against the Euro, since the elections. US Durable Goods Orders for the month of October came at 0.2% MoM, exceeding September’s figures, yet missed estimates for a 0.5% expansion. Other data showed that the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in its second estimate was 2.8%, as expected, below the second quarter's 3% growth.
At the same time, the US Department of Labor announced that Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending November 23, rose by 213K, unchanged from the previous reading and missed estimates of 217K.
In the meantime, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, was unchanged at 2.8% YoY, up from the previous reading of 2.7%.

EUR/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The EUR/USD downtrend remains intact, yet price action during the last three days edged higher, an indication that it is not finding acceptance at around the 1.03-1.04 figure. If the pair extends its gains past the November 20 high of 1.0609, buyers could test the 1.0700 figure. Otherwise, a drop beneath 1.0500 could lead to bears challenging the 1.0400 mark.
