1. Forex Market Insight  

EUR/USD 

The dollar index was up by 0.12% to 93.95 as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield slipped for the third consecutive day. Previous data showed that U.S. consumer confidence unexpectedly strengthened in October.

The dollar is likely to remain steady ahead of a series of central bank meetings and economic data that could change perceptions of interest rates, inflation, and growth rates. The euro was down by 0.1% against the dollar to 1.1596.

Additionally, the euro has recently weakened due to expectations that the European Central Bank will take a dovish stance at the meeting. On Tuesday, 26th October 2021, news emerged that bond investors’ inflation expectations for the eurozone have reached a seven-year high of more than 2.07%.

3. Commodities Market Insight 

WTI Crude Oil 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Oil prices rose on Tuesday, 26th October 2021, as the market awaits U.S. supply data to see if inventories at Cushing, the crude storage hub, tighten further. The U.S. crude futures rose by 1.1%, holding at a 2014 high.

The American Petroleum Institute will release inventory data later on Tuesday. Cushing supplies are expected to fall again this week amid falling U.S. production, a drilling moratorium, and increasing demand. Additionally, oil prices continue to rise on concerns that inventories are falling below levels needed to maintain minimum operations. Thus, refiners are digesting Cushing inventories at an incredible rate and stocks are nearing clearing.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies are scheduled to meet next week to assess output policy. Nigeria joined Saudi Arabia this week in saying it must resist accelerating pressure to increase production until the new crown epidemic is over. With this, the market is closely watching negotiations around the resumption of the Iran nuclear deal, which may eventually be able to restart the agreement and thus allow the country to increase crude exports.

Against this background, the West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures for December delivery rose by 89 cents to settle at $84.65 per barrel while Brent crude oil futures for December delivery rose by 41 cents to close at $86.40 per barrel.
