Following the announcement, the EURUSD currency pair exhibited volatility around the 1.16300 mark.
The market did not react strongly to this data release, as traders are focusing more on the improvement in relationships between the United States and China. Both nations may avoid a trade war following the positive outcome of their recent negotiations. This has strengthened the US dollar, putting downward pressure on the EURUSD exchange rate.
Last Sunday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that efforts are underway to create a framework that will allow China to avert a steep 100% tariff increase which had been announced by President Donald Trump a few weeks ago, set to take effect on November 1.
Additionally, Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet in South Korea on October 30. This will be their first meeting since Trump took office as the 47th President of the United States. Significant movements in financial markets are anticipated this week, especially if this meeting brings clarity regarding the future trade relations between the two countries.
