FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Euro (EUR) is likely to trade in a range between 1.1560 and 1.1610. In the longer run, EUR is expected to range-trade, but likely within a narrower range of 1.1520/1.1610, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

EUR is expected to range-trade

24-HOUR VIEW: "EUR traded in a range two days ago and closed largely unchanged at 1.1556. Yesterday, when it was at 1.1555, we pointed out that 'there has been no shift in directional momentum indicators'. We expected EUR to 'trade in a range between 1.1535 and 1.1575'. Our assessments were incorrect, as during the NY session, EUR rose sharply but briefly to a high of 1.1605. EUR pulled back from the high to close at 1.1580 (+0.21%). The price movements have resulted in an increase in upward momentum, but it is not sufficient to indicate a sustained rise. Today, we continue to expect EUR to trade in a range, likely between 1.1560 and 1.1610."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "Last Friday (07 Nov, spot at 1.1545), we indicated that 'the EUR’s weakness from a week ago has stabilised', and we expected EUR to 'trade in a range of 1.1485/1.1610 for the time being'. Yesterday, Tuesday, EUR rose briefly to a high of 1.1605. The slight increase in upward momentum suggests EUR is unlikely to break clearly above 1.1610. We continue to expect range-trading, but now anticipate a narrower range of 1.1520/1.1610. Looking ahead, even if EUR were to break above 1.1610, there is another solid resistance level at 1.1630."

EUR/USD flat lines near 1.1800 as traders brace for US PPI release

The EUR/USD pair trades on a flat note near 1.1800 during the early Asian session on Friday. The pair steadies as softer Eurozone inflation offsets US tariff uncertainties.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold remains below $5,200 despite tariff jitters and geopolitical risks

Gold is seen consolidating in a range below the $5,200 mark during the Asian session on Friday amid mixed cues. Trade jitters, along with the risk of a potential US-Iran war, act as a tailwind for the safe-haven bullion. Meanwhile, the Fed's hawkish outlook keeps the US Dollar close to the monthly high and caps the non-yielding yellow metal. Nevertheless, the commodity remains on track to register gains for the fourth straight week, though the fundamental backdrop warrants some caution for bullish traders.
