The EU inflation keeps slowing down. The most important news here came yesterday from Germany, which didn’t see any price growth in November after the decline by 0.3% a month before. Yet, the annual inflation rate dropped to 0.6%. Last time inflation was that low at the end of 2009 because of the economic meltdown and cut in consumer spending. Now the situation is a bit different. The unemployment level is the lowest since the time of Germany’s reunification, as was shown in the employment report for November.

The single currency continues its ascent due to USD’s retreat. The latter is under pressure since the economic statistics proved to be poorer than expected by market participants. Actually, it is a franker acknowledgement of the necessity to lock in profits in USD before the final phase of the year. After Thanksgiving Day the market is likely to get more speculative and nervous. It can be vulnerable to sharp upsurges (the Pre-New Year rally) and dips (correction before the end of the year).

EUR/USD

The single currency is still being attacked by bears. These traders have decided to take advantage of the moment and sell the euro at a higher price due to the previous correction. Besides, as has already been mentioned, in the periods of such surface lull, trading volumes are quite handsome, which enables players to store liquidity for a serious attack. Unfortunately, it is hard to understand which stance big players will take. Now it seems that the euro’s correction is coming to its end and the pair will soon reach fresh highs since the beginning of October (below 1.2500). Now trading more…
