Here is what you need to know on Monday, November 11:
Markets remain cautiously optimistic at the start of a new week, following a record-setting rally on Wall Street last week. Disappointment with China’s 10 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion) fiscal stimulus package and soft inflation data raise concerns over economic prospects, sagging investors’ confidence.
China’s CPI rose 0.3% last month from a year earlier, slowing from September's 0.4% rise and the lowest since June, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed on Saturday, missing a 0.4% increase estimated.
Meanwhile, the ‘Trump trades’ optimism seems to have returned, lifting the US equity futures and the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond yields. However, the US Dollar (USD) extends its upside consolidative phase against its major rivals, as traders refrain from placing fresh bullish bets on the Greenback ahead of Wednesday’s US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release.

Across the G10 FX board, the Japanese Yen (JPY) is the weakest so far, undermined by the uncertainty over the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) interest rate hike timing. The BoJ published the Summary of Opinions from its October monetary policy meeting, which showed that “board members advise caution and taking time in raising rates.” USD/JPY holds sizeable gains to trade at around 153.50 following the BoJ’s Summary of Opinions.
AUD/USD attempted a tepid recovery, which remains capped at 0.6600 amid China concerns. At the same time, NZD/USD defends bids near 0.5975 after New Zealand's two-year inflation expectations, seen as the time frame when RBNZ policy action will filter through to prices, increased slightly to 2.12% in Q4 from 2.03% seen in Q3 2024 of this year.
EUR/USD lost its upside traction, returning to the red toward 1.0700 in the last hours. The Euro received a fresh lift in early Asia from European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Robert Holzmann’s comments. Holzmann said that a December interest rate cut is a possibility but by no means guaranteed.

AUD/USD clings to recovery gains below 0.6550 on weaker USD, upbeat mood
AUD/USD holds sizeable gains below 0.6550 in the Asian session on Monday. A sharp pullback in the US bond yields prompts some US Dollar profit-taking after US President-elect Trump named Scott Bessent as Treasury Chief. Moreover, the upbeat market mood supports the risk-sensitive Aussie.
USD/JPY remains heavy below 154.00 as USD weakens with Treasury yields
USD/JPY remains under intense selling pressure below 154.00 in the Asian session on Monday. Retreating US Treasury bond yields drags the US Dollar away from a two-year top high and drives flows towards the lower-yielding Japanese Yen, though the BoJ uncertainty could limit losses for the pair.
Gold: Is the tide turning in favor of XAU/USD sellers?
After witnessing intense volatility in Monday's opening hour, Gold's price is licking its wounds near $2,700. The bright metal enjoyed good two-way trades before sellers returned to the game after five straight days.
