Week Ahead October 9 – 13
EURUSD pair closed last week’s trading session unchanged after another failed attempt to break lower. The sharp reversal on the upside it was mainly due to some profit taking and technical correction after pair entered oversold territory in the last 2 weeks. The sharp reversal on the upside was fueled by the lower than expected ADP employment and mixed non-farm payroll with hourly earnings. Even though the labor market continues to show strength the lower than expected hourly earning did not help the US Dollar to gather more strength.
As for this week traders and investors will be focus on the FOMC minutes. No interest rate hike is expected at this meeting although the minutes will guide investors on what the FED is up to. The CPI numbers from both the EU and US will be the stronger catalyst behind any move during this week’s trading session. Of course, given the recent geopolitical situation in Israel, investors may demand US Dollar as safe haven asset and could face another attempt to break lower.
