EUR/USD attention to the FOMC

The cautious tone around EUR has been prevailing since Monday, mainly after the ECB meeting last Thursday and in light of today’s FOMC gathering. Despite market consensus expects the Federal Reserve to remain on hold today, speculations on whether the Fed is still considering a rate hike at its December meeting has been building up consistently.

On the data front, November’s German Consumer Confidence Survey tracked by Gfk has come in at 9.4, matching estimates albeit a tad lower than October s 9.6. Apart from the FOMC meeting, Goods Trade Balance is also due across the pond.
