Euro to US dollar analysis: EUR/USD lifted by German ZEW ahead of US CPI

The EUR/USD and all other major euro crosses rose this morning, finding support from slightly stronger Eurozone data and the overall positive risk tone across financial markets we have seen in recent days. Investors were reluctant to punish the dollar more forcefully, however, as they awaited the release of key US inflation data.

AUD/USD in focus for AU CPI, gold holds support: Asian Open – 25/10/2023

The importance of today’s Australian inflation report has only increased following last week’s relatively hawkish RBA minutes and comments from the Governor on Tuesday. And that leaves AUD/USD vulnerable to a rally from relatively low prices should CPI come in hot. We've also seen the required pullback to support to for gold, to reconsider a cheeky long.

EUR/USD analysis: US CPI provides dollar fresh impetus – for now

The EUR/USD shed more than 85 pips from the day’s high as the selling accelerated when US CPI data was released. But at the time of writing, it was testing potential support around 1.0550 area. While the slightly stronger US CPI data has given fresh life to the dollar’s bullish trend, inflation was not too hot to be a game-changer.

Gold outlook dims as US inflation heats up again

So, the inflation battle continues for the Fed as we the latest CPI data come in stronger. This should keep the dollar supported against currencies where the central bank is expected to turn dovish. The likes of the euro and pound come to mind. Gold and possibly stocks may also struggle as the renewed surge in inflation may force the Fed to hike interest rates perhaps one more time before the end of the year.

S&P 500 Forecast: Stocks hold steady as oil prices lift inflation

US stocks are heading for a flat start after US headline inflation rose but core inflation cooled. CPI rose 3.7% YoY, ahead of forecasts and up from 3.2% in July. Core inflation cooled to 4.3%. The data comes as oil prices continue to rise, keeping prices at the pumps elevated, pushing inflation higher. The Fed is not expected to raise rates next week, but this data keeps a November rate hike on the table.

Euro to dollar analysis: EUR/USD in focus ahead of US CPI

Ahead of the publication of US CPI, the EUR/USD managed to climb above the 1.10 handle although remained inside its existing ranges, suggesting traders were not opening any bold positions with the key risk events ahead. But the fact it has turned positive on the week and reclaimed the 1.10 handle was clearly a positive development from a technical point of view anyway.
