EURUSD is looking for support above the 1.1900 resistance level as a slew of U.S. economic data hits the wire. The first of the releases saw a rise in U.S. durable goods.

The latest durable goods number came in at 1.3%, which was higher than the 0.9% expected by analysts. The figure was a drop on last month’s 2.1% but recent manufacturing PMIs were strong and will inspire confidence. Another reading of Q3 GDP underlined the record performance of the economy in the latest quarter as the lockdowns eased.

The rest of the day will see Michigan consumer sentiment and PCE inflation figures from the world’s largest economy. Last up this evening will be the latest FOMC minutes. There is unlikely to be any surprises there as the Fed took a back seat to the election and inflation was contined to keep their 2% target in place for a 2023 planned rate movement.

EURUSD Technical Outlook

EURUSD is pressing the 1.1900 level with the year’s highs near the 1.2000 figure being the ultimate goal. The long side is in charge for now but this is an important 100 pips ahead.
