In today’s edition, we focus on the EUR/USD currency pair, delving into both fundamental and technical factors that may impact its performance in October 2023.
The recent surge in long-term U.S. Treasury yields has substantially increased borrowing costs, reverberating throughout the financial markets. This development has garnered attention from key figures in the financial world, including the hawkish Logan and Fed Vice Chairman Jefferson.
Their acknowledgment of the impact of rising U.S. bond yields on financial conditions suggests a potential shift in the Federal Reserve’s stance on interest rate hikes. As a result, the U.S. dollar index is poised for a potentially weak trend in the coming week.

Turning our attention to the daily chart, we observe the stochastic oscillator’s fast line crossing the slow line. However, it’s crucial to note that this indicator is approaching the 50 midline, while the market is in close proximity to the 17-day moving average.
These technical signals suggest the possibility of a market decline today. However, entering long positions should be contingent on a decisive market breakthrough, followed by close monitoring of retracement prices.
