1. Fundamentals
The EU released the Eurozone Industrial Output MoM report in September on November 14, 2022. The Eurozone Industrial Output is one of the major indicators that affect the market widely, it measures the change in the total inflation-adjusted value of output produced by manufacturers, mines, and utilities. A higher-than-expected data is bullish for the Euro, and lower-than-expected data is bearish for the Euro. The data came out to be 0.9%% rather than the forecasted result of 0.3% which is supposedly bullish for the Euro. However, EURUSD dropped widely after this indicator because of the drop from the previous level on MoM. Bears interfered, and the EU economy weakened where EURUSD decreased from 1.0325 to 1.0280.
Gold had nothing to do with this indicator as it stayed stable around $1755 an Ounce.
Major traders are holding their Gold positions for further price increases.
