EUR/USD: The euro strengthened against dollar Tuesday as investors awaited inflation data due on Wednesday. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said overnight that euro zone inflation had not peaked and it risked turning out even higher than currently expected, hinting at a series of interest rate hikes ahead. Flash euro zone inflation figures for November are due on Wednesday, with economists polled expect inflation to come in at 10.4% year-on-year. The euro was up 0.4% at $1.0380, not far from a five-month peak of $1.0497 hit on Monday. Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0338(23.6%fib), an upside break can trigger rise towards 1.0493(Higher BB).On the downside, immediate support is seen at 1.0337(14DMA), a break below could take the pair towards 1.0228(38.2%fib).
GBP/USD: Sterling gained against the dollar on Tuesday as the safe-haven greenback fell against most currencies as market sentiment improved on hopes that China would ease its strict COVID-19 curbs. Investors in Britain are also keeping an eye on an appearance by Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey before lawmakers in the House of Lords on the off chance of any shift in rhetoric ahead of the Bank of England meeting in two weeks time. The pound was last 0.45% higher against the dollar at $1.2014, heading back towards last week's three-month high of $1.2153. Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2061( 23.6%fib), an upside break can trigger rise towards 1.2156 (Nov 24th high).On the downside, immediate support is seen at 1.1913 (14DMA), a break below could take the pair towards 1.1731(38.2%fib).
USD/CHF: The dollar was little changed against the Swiss franc on Tuesday amid hopes of a potential easing in the country's strict pandemic restrictions following an unprecedented episode of unrest. China will speed up COVID-19 vaccinations for elderly people, health officials said on Tuesday, aiming to overcome a key stumbling block in efforts to ease unpopular "zero-COVID" curbs. The U.S. dollar , which rallied in the previous session on mounting worries over China's COVID-19 situation, fell 0.4% to 106.19. Immediate resistance can be seen at 0.9550(38.2%fib), an upside break can trigger rise towards 0.9594(Nov 21st high).On the downside, immediate support is seen at 0.9488(11DMA), a break below could take the pair towards 0.9396(23.6%fib).
USD/JPY: The dollar declined against Japanese yen on Tuesday as investors await more Fed policy cues. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said the Fed needs to raise interest rates quite a bit further and then hold them there throughout next year and into 2024 to gain control of inflation. Investors now await remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who is due to speak at a Brookings Institution event on Wednesday. The ADP National Employment report and the U.S. Labor Department’s nonfarm payrolls data are also due this week. Strong resistance can be seen at 139.33(5DMA), an upside break can trigger rise towards 140.33(38.2%fib).On the downside, immediate support is seen at 137.68 (23.6% fib), a break below could take the pair towards 137.00(Psychological level).
