The EURUSD pair is currently making steady gains, approaching multi-month highs around 1.0960, driven by a weakened USD and Christine Lagarde's somewhat hawkish remarks before the European Parliament. Minor housing data from the U.S., specifically New Home Sales for October, came in below expectations but didn't significantly impact the pair. Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, cautioned that headline inflation might see a slight increase, and economic growth is anticipated to remain weak. However, Lagarde didn't provide clear indications on the duration of maintaining restrictive rates or the timeline for rate cuts. The focus for the rest of the week will be on Eurostat's release of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and the U.S. report on the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures Index (PCE), influencing short-term expectations for the ECB and the Fed.
