EUR/USD Downward Pressure: What’s Fueling the USD Rally?

12月3日

The EUR/USD currency pair kicked off the week on a negative trend, dipping below the 1.0500 threshold and reaching around 1.0460 on Monday. As I write this piece, the pair appears to be stabilizing, trading close to 1.05250 in early Tuesday’s London session. According to the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report, retail traders have been increasing their long positions, while non-commercial players maintain a bearish stance. This divergence hints at the potential for further downward movement in the pair.

A cautious market sentiment has fortified the US Dollar (USD) against its competitors, putting additional pressure on the EUR/USD pair. Compounding these challenges for the Euro are the political uncertainties in France. Reports indicate that the government is on the verge of collapse after both far-right and left-wing factions introduced no-confidence motions against Prime Minister Michel Barnier, as stated by Reuters.

Moreover, the differing monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB) continue to impede any upward momentum for the euro. Attention today is directed toward the US Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTs) and speeches from Federal Reserve officials. An increase in job openings could further strengthen the USD and the DXY index against other currencies. Currently, we are observing market movements without planning to initiate any trades, wanting to assess potential price levels before considering future positions.
