Week Ahead November 27 – December 1

EURUSD pair closed last week’s trading session marginally higher on the lack of any high impact economic releases from the US and due to the two days of bank holiday for the thanksgivings. FOMC maintained policy unchanged as it was widely expected. In the EU the economic releases came out better than expectations although the impact was limited as market participants took the speech of ECB’s Muller as dovish. Muller commented that inflation is clearly trend of slowing and won’t need to increase rates any more.

As for this week traders and investors will focus on the economic releases from both sides the US and EU, with the main ones the CPI releases from both sides.  Many FED’s officials’ speeches including FED’s Chairman Powell will dominate markets during the week and could triggered high volatility in the pair.
