Euro eyes German CPI
It has been a busy start to the week for EUR/USD, which gained 100 points earlier in today but has given up almost all of these gains. In the North American session, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0384. German CPI projected to decline Inflation is running at a double-digit clip in the eurozone and Germany, and the ECB is keeping a careful eye on Tuesday's German CPI for November, with a consensus of -0.2%, compared to a gain of 0.9% in October.

Stock slide amid China unrest
It's been a pretty quiet start to the trading week, with the negative session in Asia continuing into Europe and the US ahead of the open on Wall Street. Chinese stocks have been hit particularly hard amid unrest over Covid restrictions. The protests really do highlight how increasingly frustrated the public is becoming with the leadership's zero-Covid policy, even if it has been modestly relaxed recently. Record cases across multiple cities are putting the policy to the test and the unrest high

Oil under pressure, gold settles down
China and the Russian price cap weigh on crude Events in China aren't just hitting local equity markets, oil prices are also crumbling under the pressure of record Covid cases and huge economic uncertainty. The country's commitment to zero-Covid has seriously damaged growth in the world's second-largest economy and by extension, crude demand.

Week Ahead - All eyes on the jobs report
US Wall Street returns after the Thanksgiving holiday and what a week we have in store. The jobs report on Friday is the obvious highlight, with Fed policymakers keen to see further signs of inflationary pressures easing and less tightness in the labour market.

Black Friday lull
We're seeing subdued trading at the end of the week, with the absence of the US leaving markets lacking any notable direction. This isn't really unusual and at the end of the week too, it really makes sense. Barring a flurry of big headlines from elsewhere, we could now see equity markets just drift into the weekend with investors already having an eye on next week. Perhaps today people are trading in their charts for some Black Friday deals, the outcome of which will certainly be on everyone's

Euro steady as German data improves
US markets are open for limited hours today, and investors are focussed on the World Cup and Black Friday rather than the US dollar. EUR/USD is trading quietly at 1.0392, down 0.18%. German data has not been spectacular this week, but nonetheless is moving in the right direction, as the German economy is in decent shape.

Oil prices rise, gold in a range
Oil pares losses as price cap talks continue Oil prices are higher on Friday, continuing to pare losses after being hit heavily in recent weeks by surging Covid cases in China and discussions around the price cap on Russian crude. Lockdowns in all but name appear to be popping up in major Chinese cities in an attempt to get a grip on record cases which will weigh heavily on economic activity once more and in turn demand. It's now a question of how long they last but clearly investors' enthusiasm

A "dovish" boost
Equity markets are making steady gains in Europe and Asia on Thursday, while Wall Street is closed for the Thanksgiving bank holiday. The day got off to a decent start as investors on this side of the pond played catch-up following the late rally in the US. All considered it hasn't been the most lively of weeks but the FOMC minutes did ensure investors went into the Thanksgiving break on a bit of a high. A dovish boost before Thanksgiving The most notable takeaway from the minutes - which were n

Oil prices slip, gold higher after FOMC
Oil tumbles amid price cap talks and stricter Chinese restrictions Oil prices are a little lower again on Thursday as the G7 continues to work towards a price cap on Russian oil.
