EUR/USD extends losses toward 1.0500 as focus shifts to US ISM PMI
EUR/USD stays under bearish pressure and declines toward 1.0500 on Monday. The pair is dragged down by dovish ECB-speak, French political woes and a firmer US Dollar following Trump tariffs threat on BRICS. Investors now await US ISM Manufacturing PMI data.
GBP/USD struggles to hold above 1.2700 as USD rebound continues
Following a consolidation phase in the early European session, GBP/USD turns south and trades below 1.2700 on Monday. The pickup in the safe-haven demand for the US Dollar, as traders remain wary over the latest Trump tariffs threat on BRICS nations, weighs on the pair ahead of US ISM PMI data.
Gold stays below $2,650 on broad-based USD strength
Gold starts the new week on the back foot and trades below $2,650. The renewed US Dollar strength and the recover seen in the US Treasury bond yields don't allow the pair to stage a rebound as investors' focus shifts to US PMI data.
The week ahead: Payrolls take centre stage, as French government poised to collapse
At the start of this week, the focus is likely to be on France. On Sunday, Marine Le Pen said that her party’s talks with the government led by Michel Barnier, had broken down, which paves the way for a no-confidence vote in the technocratic government that has no majority in Parliament.
Eurozone PMI sounds the alarm about growth once more
The composite PMI dropped from 50 to 48.1, once more stressing growth concerns for the eurozone. Hard data has actually come in better than expected recently – so ahead of the December meeting, the ECB has to figure out whether this is the PMI crying wolf or whether it should take this signal seriously. We think it’s the latter.
