US midterm election uncertainty weighs on dollar outlook, Currencies Direct says

By Public Technologies
  • US midterm election uncertainty could weaken the dollar and increase volatility in coming days, despite support from risk aversion.
  • Sterling reached its strongest levels since mid-September as UK government borrowing costs fell following Wednesday's budget.
  • Caution ahead of Thursday's Bank of England rate decision may temper sterling sentiment.
  • The euro faces pressure from sharply weaker German retail sales in September, despite resilient third-quarter eurozone growth.
  • Canada's dollar risks further losses if oil prices keep retreating, reversing support from Friday's roughly 2.5% crude rally.
