EUR/USD Forex Technical Analysis – Trader Reaction to Short-Term Pivot at 1.1640 Sets Early Tone Next Week - Yahoo Finance

The Euro rose against the U.S. Dollar on Friday after a report showed Euro Zone inflation expectations hit the European Central Bank target of 2%. Gains may have been capped, however, buy a report that showed Euro Zone business growth slowed in October.

On Friday, the EUR/USD settled at 1.1644, up 0.0021 or +0.18%.

A key market gauge of Euro Zone inflation expectations rose above the ECB’s inflation target of 2% for the first time in seven years on Friday, just as the central bank weighs how to proceed with stimulus when its pandemic-era support ends.

The so-called five-year, five-year forward inflation swap jumped by as much as 10 basis points to 2.0528%, the highest since 2014.

Additionally, growth in Euro Zone business activity slowed this month as firms faced soaring costs due to supply-chain constraints, while the bloc’s dominant service industry struggled amid ongoing COVID-19 concerns, a survey showed on Friday.

IHS Markit’s Flash Composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), a good gauge of overall economic health, fell to a six-month low of 54.3 in October from 56.2 in September.

That matched the lowest forecast in a Reuters poll which had predicted a more modest drop to 55.2 but was still comfortably above the 50-mark which separates growth from contraction.
