EUR/USD: The European currency rose a little against the US dollar on Tuesday. Investor sentiment in Germany rose in November on expectations that price pressures will ease at the start of next year and growth will pick up in Europe’s largest economy, as Germany’s figures showed yesterday. The Eurozone sentiment indicator also improved. Meanwhile, European and US policymakers had made speeches. Low European Central Bank interest rates are now hurting bank margins more than they are boosting lending volumes. At this point, the ECB maintains a wait-and-see stance. Today, Germany publishes the October Consumer Price and Harmonized Indices. The US will also release October CPI figures and Initial Jobless Claims for the last week. The local resistance level can be seen at 1.1615. A breakout to the upside can trigger growth to 1.1665.

Five of the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500 ended the session down. Utilities led the gainers. The finish line for the third-quarter earnings season is in sight, with 445 of the companies in the S&P 500 having reported. Of those, 81% have beat market expectations.
