On Tuesday, during the Asian session, Australia will release Real Sales data, and RBA Governor Bullock will participate in an event. Later in the day, the Gfk German survey is due. In the US, housing price data and consumer confidence figures will be released. Several Fed officials are scheduled to speak.
Here is what you need to know on Tuesday, November 28:
On a quiet session, the US Dollar Index lost 0.20% and posted its lowest daily close since late August, near 103.20. The bias remains to the downside, with the Greenback looking vulnerable. Treasury yields declined, with the 2-year falling to 4.89% and the 10-year sliding from 4.50% to 4.38%.
US New Home Sales unexpectedly dropped by 5.6% to 679K, below the market consensus of 725K. Data due on Tuesday from the US includes the Housing Price Index, the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, CB Consumer Confidence, and the Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index. Later in the week, the Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Index is due. Fed officials Goolsbee, Waller, Bowman, and Barr will speak on Tuesday. The blackout period begins on Saturday.
EUR/USD posted its highest close in three months. While above 1.0950, further gains seem likely, and a test of 1.1000 appears to be a matter of time. On Tuesday, the German GfK survey is due. The focus in the region is on inflation figures that will start coming out on Tuesday.
GBP/USD rose for the third consecutive day, breaking above 1.2600. The bias is tilted to the upside, with the pair looking for a new equilibrium level.
USD/JPY tumbled after trading quietly for three days, falling towards 148.50, affected by lower yields.
AUD/USD rose above 0.6600, reaching the highest levels since early August, and also surpassed the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Bullock will participate in a panel discussion titled "Inflation, Financial Stability, and Employment." October Retail Sales data is due.
USD/CAD remained below the 55-day SMA and seems positioned towards the 1.3600 zone. Risks are tilted to the downside. Employment data will be released on Friday.
Gold rose sharply and traded above a key resistance area seen at $2,010. Silver also jumped and posted the highest daily close in weeks above $24.50.

Editors’ Picks
EUR/USD extends recovery beyond 1.0400 amid Wall Street's turnaround
EUR/USD extends its recovery beyond 1.0400, helped by the better performance of Wall Street and softer-than-anticipated United States PCE inflation. Profit-taking ahead of the winter holidays also takes its toll.
GBP/USD nears 1.2600 on renewed USD weakness
GBP/USD extends its rebound from multi-month lows and approaches 1.2600. The US Dollar stays on the back foot after softer-than-expected PCE inflation data, helping the pair edge higher. Nevertheless, GBP/USD remains on track to end the week in negative territory.
Gold rises above $2,620 as US yields edge lower
Gold extends its daily rebound and trades above $2,620 on Friday. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield declines toward 4.5% following the PCE inflation data for November, helping XAU/USD stretch higher in the American session.
Bitcoin crashes to $96,000, altcoins bleed: Top trades for sidelined buyers
Bitcoin (BTC) slipped under the $100,000 milestone and touched the $96,000 level briefly on Friday, a sharp decline that has also hit hard prices of other altcoins and particularly meme coins.
Bank of England stays on hold, but a dovish front is building
Bank of England rates were maintained at 4.75% today, in line with expectations. However, the 6-3 vote split sent a moderately dovish signal to markets, prompting some dovish repricing and a weaker pound. We remain more dovish than market pricing for 2025.
