Key Headlines:


  • USD: Gains driven by safe-haven demand.
     

Yesterday Recap


The USD strengthened for the first time in four sessions as investors sought safe havens following Ukraine's use of UK storm shadow missiles against Russia. This droves EUR/USD to test previous support levels and erased GBP/USD’s earlier gains after stronger UK CPI data. Despite a significant rise in eurozone wage growth to 5.4% in Q3 from 3.4% in Q2, the EUR showed little reaction, with markets focused on expectations of deep ECB rate cuts to offset potential trade tariff impacts.
