EUR/USD should find initial support at 1.1624 – Commerzbank

EUR/USD gains traction and rises toward 1.1800 in the second half of the day on Tuesday. The US Dollar weakens and helps the pair stretch higher after the employment report showed that Nonfarm Payrolls declined by 105,000 in October before rising by 64,000 in November.

GBP/USD stays in positive territory above 1.3400 on Tuesday. The British Pound benefits from upbeat PMI data, while the US Dollar struggles to find demand following the mixed employment figures, allowing the pair to hold its ground.

Gold reverses its direction and recovers to the $4,300 area after spending the first half of the day under bearish pressure. The renewed US Dollar weakness after the jobs report showed that the Unemployment Rate climbed to 4.6% in November helps XAU/USD erase its losses.

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the delayed Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for October and November on Tuesday at 13:30 GMT. Economists expect Nonfarm Payrolls to rise by 40,000 in November. The Unemployment Rate is likely to remain unchanged at 4.4% during the same period.

Since the start of the week, gold’s price has moved lower, but has yet to erase the gains made last week. In today’s report we intend to focus on the newest round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, whilst noting the release of the US Employment data later on day and end our report with an update in regards to the tensions brewing in Venezuela.
