Traders monitor US weekly jobless claims and Fed's speech for clues. Preliminary S&P Global PMI shows manufacturing rose to 52.0 in September, above expectations, while services PMI dipped to 51.7, below market consensus. ECB policymaker Gabriel Makhlouf hints at potential further interest rate hikes if energy prices impact other sectors. Fed Governor Michael Barr signals further policy adjustments needed to curb inflation. Fed President Tom Barkin and Susan Collins back recent rate hikes citing persistent inflation. Hawkish remarks boost Greenback, hinder EUR/USD in near term. Markets price 69.7% chance of a rate hike in October, up from 48.7% a week ago. ECB's potential rate hike adds to Dollar's bullish outlook. Technical analysis shows EUR/USD weakening below key moving averages, indicating bearish near-term trend.",
