EUR/USD: USD Remains Strong as Market Awaits Key Economic Data

The US Dollar Index (DXY) continues to show strength at the start of the new week, holding firm against the Euro. The Greenback surged last Friday after the release of the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report, which revealed a healthier-than-expected US labor market. This solid performance in the world’s largest economy has reassured investors that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will not need to implement aggressive interest rate cuts in the near term.

With the stronger labor market, the likelihood of a 50 basis point (bps) rate cut in November has dropped significantly to around 5%, while expectations have shifted to a smaller 25 bps cut in the upcoming meeting.

Focus Shifts to Upcoming Economic Data
As we move into the week, market attention is firmly on upcoming key events. Tomorrow, the FOMC Meeting Minutes will provide further insights into the Fed’s stance on interest rates. Following that, Wednesday will bring the release of significant data, including the Core CPI m/m, CPI m/m, CPI y/y, and Unemployment Claims. These releases will be crucial in shaping the market's expectations for the Fed’s next moves.

While forecasts for these economic reports suggest a potentially worse scenario for the US Dollar, the Greenback has continued to rally over the past week. The direction of the USD may only become clearer after these critical data releases, as they will offer a more detailed picture of the inflationary landscape and labor market health.

Technical Analysis: Demand Zones in Focus
In the EUR/USD chart, we have identified two key demand areas. The demand zone highlighted in the gold rectangle appears the most plausible if the price drops following the release of the economic news. This area could serve as a critical point for traders to look for potential buy opportunities if the market reacts negatively to the data.

At present, we are not holding any active positions in EUR/USD and are carefully watching for the price to approach an area of interest before making any moves. Patience will be key as we await the impact of this week’s economic announcements on the market.

Conclusion
The US Dollar’s strength remains intact as we head into a week filled with pivotal economic data. With the FOMC Meeting Minutes and inflation data on the horizon, the market is eagerly awaiting clearer direction. For now, the USD is holding its ground, but traders should stay vigilant and wait for confirmation from the upcoming news releases before making any major trading decisions.

We remain on standby, watching the EUR/USD pair closely, and will assess potential trade opportunities as the market reacts to the economic developments.
