The combination of further stimulus expectations by the ECB in December and confirmation from another Fed member during the weekend, that the US is ready to hike rates for the first time in 11 years in December, weighed on the EURUSD. The pair made new lows at 1.0595. Along with the euro new monthly lows were performed also by SILVER at 13.90. Commodities are generally under pressure, as can be seen also by GOLD, on the back of a strong USD and lower metals demand coming from China.
On the other hand, USD index, USD/CAD and USD/CNH made new monthly highs. Overall, as can be seen, the USD has been boosted as of late, however it still remains in a range and further catalysts are needed for the rally to resume action. Looking ahead, the economic calendar is busy this week and we start off Monday with Eurozone PMIs; US existing home sales.
