The pair experienced a decline in the American session on Tuesday, stagnating near the 1.0700 benchmark due to diminished buyer interest. The pair had started strong but weakened as the USD rebounded, bolstered by a 1.5% rise in the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield after a sharp drop.
The USD held firm amidst cautious market sentiment following the UN Security Council’s unsuccessful private session aimed at resolving conflict and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s insistence on no general ceasefire until Hamas released all hostages. Market participants are now awaiting insights from Federal Reserve policymakers. Any contradiction to the expected unchanged policy rate in December could further strengthen the USD and negatively impact the EUR/USD.
German data revealed a monthly decrease of 1.4% in Industrial Production for September, which contributed to the weakening of the EUR/USD pair. Technical analysis on the 4-hour chart using the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Fibonacci retracements identifies the key pivot point for EUR/USD at 1.0700, with various potential resistance and support levels outlined.
