EUR/USD posted a slow advance on Monday, moving to the upper end of a short-term consolidation just above the 1.0500 level, albeit with a lack of real conviction. European data is relatively limited this week, leaving Fiber traders to face a slew of important data on the US side.
Markets largely ignored appearances by a number of European Central Bank (ECB) officials to start the new week. December European PMI figures beat expectations, but the Services PMI survey remained in contraction as concerns over a deepening economic slowdown in Europe continue to unsettle investors and businesses.
Markets are anticipating the Fed's interest rate decision on Wednesday, with a 25 bps rate cut fully priced in at 99.1%, according to the CME's FedWatch Tool. Traders will be watching the Fed's revised Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) and policymakers' rate forecasts.
US PMI data for December presented a mixed picture: Services PMI hit a multi-year high, while Manufacturing PMI fell further below 50.0, indicating contraction. Retail Sales figures are due on Tuesday but are likely to attract limited market attention ahead of the Fed's final interest rate decision of the year.
