EUR/USD Faces Resistance Amid Dollar Sell-Off: A Look at Eurozone CPI and German Fiscal Developments

EUR/USD Faces Resistance Amid Dollar Sell-Off: A Look at Eurozone CPI and German Fiscal Developments

EUR: Orderly inflation outcome

EUR/USD remains well bid, but should struggle to better resistance at 1.0965/1000 this week. As mentioned above, we think the dollar sell-off may not have legs since the short end of the US rates curve is still pretty firm. From the eurozone side, this week's data highlight will be flash CPI for November set to be released on Thursday. Here, further disinflation is expected in both headline and core readings, bringing year-on-year rates back to 2.7% and 3.9%, respectively. These readings might tend to support the 70bp of the European Central Bank (ECB) easing priced into eurozone money markets next year.  

Additionally, expect investors to keep one eye on fiscal developments in Germany. It is unclear from where a political solution will emerge and will do little to discourage views of a stagnant eurozone economy in early 2024. Overall, we favour EUR/USD correcting to the 1.0825/50 area this week.
