Despite the sharp decline in the dollar, the euro failed to follow suit against most major currencies, reflecting concerns about a potential eurozone recession and disinflationary pressures.<\/p><p>The eurozone, mirroring the global disinflationary trend, experienced a sharper-than-expected fall in both headline and core inflation indicators in the November flash report. With core inflation solidly below 4%, it&#8217;s evident that the European Central Bank&#8217;s hiking cycle is concluded. The European economy&#8217;s underperformance, coupled with concerning economic indicators from China, suggests a lack of imminent global demand recovery.<\/p><p>Given the pessimistic growth outlook and the possibility of a euro area recession by year-end, expectations lean towards eurozone rate cuts before the US. Markets are eyeing a potential first rate reduction in March 2024. This anticipation could lead to a partial retracement in the euro in the coming weeks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4ef6ff18 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4ef6ff18\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-573514fd\" data-id=\"573514fd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a35987f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a35987f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CNH<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59d920b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"59d920b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">CNH had its best month appreciating more than 2% against the USD, back to a level last seen in mid-June.
