Forex - Weekly Outlook: November 26 - 30

Investing.com - This week investors will be focusing their attention on Friday’s planned meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the upcoming G20 summit.
Market watchers are hoping that talks between the pair could lead to a ceasefire in the trade war between Washington and Beijing.
Investors will also be awaiting the release of the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting and an analysis on the draft Brexit deal from the Bank of England.
A speech on Wednesday by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will be closely watched after other Fed policymakers sounded more dovish on the economic outlook recently.
The economic calendar also contains updates on the strength of the U.S. economy and the housing market, which has been hit by rising interest rates.
The dollar strengthened against a currency basket on Friday as risk appetite deteriorated and steep drop in oil prices added to fears that the global economy is slowing.
The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a basket of six major currencies, climbed 0.27% to a one-week high of 96.84 in late trade.
The dollar has pulled back since hitting 16-month highs in early November, as some soft economic data and dovish sounding comments by several Fed policymakers raised the prospect that the Fed may be nearing the end of its tightening cycle.
The euro fell to one-week lows on Friday, with EUR/USD down 0.59% to 1.1335 after economic data pointed to further signs of a slowdown in the euro area economy.
Sterling was also weaker against the dollar, with GBP/USD falling 0.5% to 1.2812.
The yen was little changed against the dollar in late trade, with USD/JPY last at 112.96.
