1. Forex Market Insight  

EUR/USD 

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said on Monday, 15th November 2021, that the current tightening of monetary policy to curb inflation could stifle the euro zone’s recovery, countering calls for tightening policies and market bets. 

The euro’s decline reflects the disappointing performance of the eurozone economy relative to the U.S., which has experienced a greater degree of unexpected upside than the eurozone.

According to him, there has been another surge in the Covid-19 cases in Europe, which has led some countries to consider imposing another lockdown, while the situation in the U.S. seems to have stabilized for now. As a result, markets are increasingly nervous about the euro.

GBP Intraday Trend Analysis 

Fundamental Analysis： 

Among the G-10 currencies, only the pound rose against the dollar; gaining 0.1% to 1.3430.

Positive U.K. employment data boosted the case for a rate hike at the Bank of England’s December meeting. The data, as well as the BoE Governor’s intervention yesterday, should help the pound ahead of the December meeting if global market sentiment does not deteriorate significantly and political negotiations between the EU and the UK do not deliver a major shock to markets.

2. Precious Metals Market Insight

 

Gold 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Yesterday, gold prices surged higher and retreated due to a better-than-expected U.S. retail sales data. Plus, the rising dollar and U.S. stocks pressured gold prices. However, high inflation continued to support gold prices at higher levels. The main focus during the day will be on the U.S. real estate data and U.K. inflation.

3. Commodities Market Insight 

WTI Crude Oil 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Yesterday, data from the American Petroleum Institute (API) showed that the U.S. crude oil and distillate inventories increased while gasoline stocks fell last week.

The data showed that crude oil inventories increased by 655,000 barrels for the week ended Nov. 12. Gasoline stocks decreased by 2.8 million barrels while distillate stocks increased by 107,000 barrels.

Oil prices closed lower on Tuesday, 16th November 2021, as the U.S. crude inventories increased last week, having swung between gains and losses during the session, driven by factors such as the possible release of the U.S. strategic oil reserves and concerns about fuel demand shifts.
