Weekly EUR/USD Outlook: 2016, November 06 - November 13 (based on the article)

EUR/USD managed to recover as November began. Updated EU forecasts and some German data stand out, as Americans go to the polls. Volatility is going to be high. Here is an outlook for the highlights of this week.

1. Eurogroup meetings: Monday, with the wider Ecofin on Tuesday. European finance ministers convene to discuss business. Comments come out throughout the day.
2. German Factory Orders: Monday, 7:00. A rise of 0.2% is on the cards.
3. Retail PMI: Monday, 9:10. A similar figure is likely now.
4. Sentix Investor Confidence: Monday, 9:30. A tick up to 8.7 is on the cards.
5. Retail Sales: Monday, 10:00. A slide of 0.3% is expected.
6. US elections: Tuesday, with the first results coming on Wednesday at 00:00 GMT and into the early hours of the morning. Markets usually prefer Republican pro-business, pro-market presidents, but Donald Trump is a different kind of candidate. The self-proclaimed billionaire is seen as extremely erratic and anti-trade. His rival, Hillary Clinton, is unexciting but cannot be characterized as anti-market per-se. Fear of a Trump victory hurt the US dollar while better chances for a Clinton victory helped the greenback. The race has tightened recently, pushing the dollar lower against the euro, but the euro is not a classic safe-haven currency, therefore it could join commodity currencies in losing and not the yen in winning upon a Trump victory. A Clinton victory is not fully priced in, but the reaction will not be as strong as a Trump victory.
7. German Industrial Production: Tuesday, 7:00. A slide of 0.4% is predicted.
8. German Trade Balance: Tuesday, 7:00. A wider surplus of 23.4 billion euros is on the cards.
9. French Trade Balance: Tuesday, 7:45. Contrary to Germany, France has a deficit. A more narrow deficit of 4.1 billion euros is projected.
10. EU Economic Forecasts: Wednesday, 10:00. The European Commission releases updated forecasts three times a year.
11. French Industrial Production: Thursday, 7:45. A correction could come now but economists expect +0.3%.
12. German inflation data: Friday, 7:00. The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) is expected to rise by 0.2% after 0.4% last time.

EUR/USD - "Considering this point of view, then, should Clinton be elected, the FOMC would likely be able to retain its current set of growth and inflation forecasts and continue with its current plan for normalizing rates (i.e., hike rates in December). However, given the significant shift in fiscal policy and its resulting impact on the US economy should Trump be elected (for better or for worse), the FOMC would have to alter its forecasts. Such an event would cater to a hold in December. Amid an otherwise bland economic docket this coming week, the US Presidential election is the paramount influence on EUR/USD by a wide margin – let’s not pretend otherwise. If Clinton wins, EUR/USD should quickly shake off the recent built-up political risk premium, allowing EUR/USD to return to its recent lows in the low $1.0800s. On the other side, because of the likely hold in Fed policy in December, EUR/USD’s initial reaction to a Trump victory would likely be a move towards the August highs around $1.1360."

Trading News Events: University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment (adapted from dailyfx)

• "A rebound in the U. of Michigan Confidence survey may spark a bullish reaction in the U.S. dollar and fuel the recent selloff in EUR/USD should the data print highlight an improved outlook for growth and inflation."
• "The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) looks poised to deliver a December rate-hike as ‘the Committee judges that the case for an increase in the federal funds rate has continued to strengthen,’ and Chair Janet Yellen and Co. may continue to normalize monetary policy in the year ahead as the central bank sees a ‘moderate’ recovery going forward. However, another unexpected decline in household sentiment may dampen the appeal of the greenback and drag on interest-rate expectations as central bank officials continue to warn ‘market-based measures of inflation compensation have moved up but remain low; most survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations are little changed, on balance, in recent months.’"

Bullish USD Trade: U. of Michigan Confidence Survey Climbs to 87.9 or Greater

• "Need red, five-minute candle following the report to consider a short EUR/USD trade."
• "If market reaction favors a bullish dollar trade, sell EUR/USD with two separate position."
• "Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from cost; at least 1:1 risk-to-reward."
• "Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is met, set reasonable limit."

• "Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long EUR/USD trade."
• "Implement same strategy as the bullish dollar trade, just in reverse."

Daily price is bloke 200-day SMA to below to be reversed to the primary ebarish market condition. Developing retracement bearish pattern was formed by the price together with descending triangle pattern for the bearish trend to be continuing.

• If the price will break 1.1129 resistance level on close daily bar so the reversal to the primary bullish market condition may be started.
  
• If price will break 1.0853 support on close daily bar so the primary bearish trend will be continuing.
  
• If not so the price will be ranging within the levels.
