The focus of the macroeconomic calendar was the striking data on inflation in the United States, which fell from 8.2% to 7.7%. This is the fourth consecutive decline in inflation, but the point is different. Forecasts assumed a fall by 0.2%, but actual data fell by as much as 0.5%.
This news was a catalyst for trading forces in the financial markets. US stock indices showed a sharp increase of 5–7%, while dollar positions fell under a total sell-off.
The reason for such a dynamic market lies in a simple, understandable logic—the Fed is currently focusing its policy on inflation. The decision on the interest rate is connected with inflation dynamics. Thus, if inflation declines faster than the forecast, the decision to slow down the rate hike may be made during the December meeting of the Fed.
As for the US ballot count, the preliminary totals are as follows:
House of Representatives: Democrats 192 - Republicans 211. Control requires 218 seats out of 435.
Senate: Democrats 48 - Republicans 49. Control requires 51 seats out of 100.
The data is not final, the ballots are still being counted.
The EURUSD currency pair has strengthened in value by more than 250 points. As a result, the local high of October was updated, as well as the September high. In fact, this strongest price move indicated the possibility of a change of trading interests in the market.
The GBPUSD currency pair gained more than 350 points. This strong inertial move led to a control tracking of the price with subsequent resistance levels at 1.1750.
Since the opening of the European session, statistics for the UK have been published, which came out better than forecasts. The final estimate of GDP for the 3rd quarter reflected a slowdown in the economy from 4.40% to 2.40%, with forecast of 2.10%. Meanwhile, industrial production decline is slowing down from -4.3% to -3.1%, although indicators were assumed to remain at the same level.
As a result, the pound sterling, overbought in recent days, continues to hold its positions in the market.
The inertial upward move led to a clear overheating of long positions on the euro in the short and intraday periods, which may indicate the possibility of a technical pullback. At the same time, speculators are still charged in the market, which may lead to ignoring technical overbought signals.
In this situation, stable holding of the price above 1.0200 in the daily period is considered an important technical point since this may indicate a phased shift in trade interests.
In this situation, the technical signal of the British currency being overbought is still present on the market. For this reason, traders are considering the scenario of a price pullback from the resistance level of 1.1750.
As for the subsequent upward cycle, it will be considered by market participants in case of stable price retention above the 1.1750 mark. With this development, the overbought signal will be ignored by traders.
