Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) reports EUR/USD has bounced toward 1.1200 resistance after briefly trading near 1.1130, helped by lower Oil prices easing the energy drag on Eurozone growth. However, the bank warns that France’s ongoing fiscal troubles could still push EUR/USD down to 1.1000, keeping the pair vulnerable despite improved risk sentiment and energy dynamics.

Energy support versus fiscal headwinds

"EUR/USD recovered towards resistance at 1.1200 after testing an intra-day low around 1.1130 on Friday. Lower crude oil prices ease the energy drag on Eurozone growth and offers EUR support. However, France’s ongoing fiscal troubles can still drive EUR/USD down to 1.1000."

"Both contenders for the ECB presidency struck a pragmatic tone in newspaper interviews. Netherlands’ Klaas Knot noted that further tightening should be limited if energy prices remained roughly where they were, while signaling readiness to tackle disorderly bond market moves. Spain’s Pablo Hernandez de Cos stressed the “need to remain vigilant about inflation risks” but noted that second-round effects have yet to emerge."

US October CPI Preview: Inflation Growth May Slow, How Will US Stocks, Dollar and Gold React?

TradingKey - On Tuesday, November 10, Eastern Time, the U.S. will release the October Consumer Price Index (CPI), a crucial inflation reading ahead of the Federal Reserve's December interest rate decision. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed that the report will be released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Markets expect headline inflation in October to cool compared to September, driven by a slowdown in gasoline price gains, though core inflation remains somewhat sticky. This data will shape market expectations regarding whether the Fed will continue to raise interest rates in December and could trigger a new round of market movement across U.S. equities, the U.S. dollar, and gold (XAUUSD).
