Dollar gives back some earlier gains leading into US data releases- EUR/USD lifts from below 1.0500

Shortly, at 1.30pm GMT we a get a couple of quite important US data releases. There is the usual weekly and continuing jobless claims numbers and also the October PPI (Producer Price Index). This one is important, as it can be a forerunner of later CPI reports to come. So, today the markets are expecting an increase in producer price pressures last month. The rate is expected to increase by 0.2% from no rise at all in September. The annualised rate is also expected to rise and quite markedly too, by 2.3%, from a prior reading of just 1.8%. The core rate is forecast to rise by 3%, compared to 2.8%. Ahead of this the dollar has certainly come off the boil. Earlier the EUR/USD fell to a new 2024 low underneath 1.0500. The low point was set at 1.0497. It has since rebounded to as high as 1.0545. It is currently trading at 1.0537
