The US Dollar Index (DXY) encountered selling pressure, falling near the 102.00 threshold. Upcoming economic data included Initial Jobless Claims, PCE, Personal Income/Spending, and the preliminary Q3 GDP Growth Rate. The EUR/USD pair managed to rebound, breaking a five-day losing streak and challenging the 1.1170 mark. The European Central Bank (ECB) was set to keep its policy rate steady. Additional data would feature the concluding Consumer Sentiment survey in Eurozone. GBP/USD showed slight gains, retracing to the 1.3340 level after a downward correction from new multi-day lows near 1.3270. The Bank of England's Consumer Credit data would be published, along with Mortgage Approvals/Lending and the Bank of England's M4 Money Supply and Net Lending to Individuals figures. USD/JPY lost momentum, failing to maintain the upward momentum past the crucial 158.00 mark, closing near 157.80. The scheduled weekly Foreign Bond Investment figures and Consumer Confidence reading would be disclosed. AUD/USD continued its upward climb, breaking key five-week highs and approaching the 200-day Simple Moving Average at 0.7060. Exports/Imports Prices would be the sole release in Australia. WTI crude oil futures (December contract) gained momentum, surging past the $103.00 per barrel mark due to renewed Middle Eastern supply concerns.
