In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the U.S. dollar fell against the euro after the U.S. October CPI, released yesterday, showed the year-over-year core index declining from 4.1% to 4.0%.The EUR/USD pair rose from 1.0691 to 1.0887. On the daily chart, the price broke above the 200-day SMA with a real body candle, signaling a major uptrend. However, on the higher-time-frame weekly chart, the downtrend for EUR/USD remains intact, so we will be watching price action during European trading hours closely.
European currencies rose during U.S. trading hours as Germany’s November ZEW Economic Sentiment Index, released yesterday, improved to +9.8 from -1.1 the previous month.The euro/yen pair rose from 162.073 to 163.907, hitting a high for the year. The pair has continued to rise during today’s Asian trading session as well, and since it is still moving along the +2σ line of the daily Bollinger Bands, we will continue to monitor the euro’s upside potential closely.
