EUR/USD: EUR is a moderate underperformer among the majors – Scotiabank

Final Eurozone CPI for October was confirmed at 0.3% M/M and 2.0% in the year. Core was also left unchanged at 2.7% Y/Y, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes.

EURCHF losses on haven demand weigh on broader EUR tone

“The German central bank’s monthly report noted that Q3 wages were up by the most in 30 years while ECB Governor Muller commented that a 25bps cut was likely at the central bank’s policy decision next month.”

“The Euro (EUR) is a moderate underperformer among the majors on the session on EUR/CHF selling which has pulled the cross back to near its August low.”

“Moderate gains in the EUR yesterday stalled around the 1.06 area and renewed losses today keep the broader tone for the EUR weak. Minor support sits at 1.05, with key support at 1.0450, last year’s low.”
