US Bullet Report – USD Mixed In Quiet Markets

EUR/USD almost broke 1.13 lows as the focus now shifts on the ECB decision later this week. From a market perspective, the meeting should not provide further clarity but is likely to be seen as an early indication of what we can expect in the December ECB meeting. A change in rates is out of the table however, it is almost certain that the ECB will increase its QE program in an effort to revive the economy.
While USD is strong, GOLD is also under pressure with the metal hitting a $1170.70 low. This is the third straight session that GOLD is dropping. It is pretty clear that the inverse relation between gold and dollar has become stronger over recent weeks.

Looking ahead, it’s an important week in Canada with federal elections, BoC rate decision and release of retail sales and CPI. Don’t forget the ECB meeting on Thursday.
