Details of the economic calendar for November 10

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 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.
