The Euro/Dollar exchange rate remains near its lowest levels

October 2, 2023

By RoboForex Analytical Department

The main currency pair starts the week and the month by consolidating around the 1.0569 mark.

The US Federal Reserve’s intention to potentially raise interest rates once again in 2023 is strengthening the position of the USD. The 10-year treasury bonds yield in the US remains at long-term highs regardless of a minor correction.

This week, statistics will be abundant in both the US and the eurozone. Employment sector reports for September in the US are expected to show stabilisation without any notable catalysts.

The eurozone will report on retail sales in August, the PPI, and business activity in the services sector. All these reports will provide insight into the state of the economic system. It is not certain whether there will be any catalyst among the European statistics to support the EUR, although this possibility exists.
