Weekly Technical Analysis For December 21st to 25th, 2020

Pay Attention To US GDP Number This Week

EUR/USD:  

The US Dollar was under selling pressure last week as progress toward a massive U.S. government spending bill and COVID-19 relief measures whetted risk appetite.

The Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged last Wednesday and signaled that near-zero rates would continue through 2023 to support the next phase of the economic recovery as the vaccine rollout gets underway.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said the first-quarter data will show a significant impact from a surge in the virus, but the economy should perform strongly in the second half of next year, underpinned by a boost from the vaccine rollout. 

Looking ahead, keep your eye on the US GDP Growth on Wednesday. The US third-quarter gross domestic product is expected to come to 33.1%.

Besides the US GDP numbers,  this week's calendar also features U.S. data on Core Durable Goods Orders, Existing Home Sales, New Home Sales, New Home Sales as well as Crude Oil Inventories

US Durable goods orders excluding transportation are expected to ease to 0.6% in November from 1.3% in the previous number.

The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, the core PCE index, which calculates spending minus volatile food and energy costs, arrives along with personal spending and income numbers from the Commerce Department Wednesday. The core PCE is expected to come out at 1.5%, year on year basis.

Get ready for the holiday week. Liquidity over the Christmas holiday is expected to be particularly thin so please take the necessary precautions to ensure you are not affected by increased volatility and intermittent pricing.
