Currencies: U.S. dollar will be tested by economic release data

American Retail Sales: Published on Wednesday at 12:30 GMT. This all-important consumer related figure was very disappointing last month – sales dropped by 1.2% and core retails sales by 1.1%. This hurt the dollar last month. A recovery now will support it.

American Unemployment Claims: Published on Thursday at 12:30 GMT. After a positive surprise last week, with a drop back to 454K. All in all, this tight range isn’t too good. Only a drop under 430K will give hope of a serious improvement in the job market. A rise above 480K will be worrying.

American CPI: Published on Friday at 12:30 GMT. A rise in consumer prices is the key for a rate hike, but this isn’t due soon. CPI dropped by 0.2% last month and is expected to tick up this time. Core CPI,  which is closely watched by the Federal Reserve, rose by only 0.1% last month, and no big change is due this time.

Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) — Gold may rise after climbing to a record in New York for a third day as investors sought protection from a weakening dollar.

The dollar fell as much as 0.6 percent against the euro on speculation the European Central Bank will announce plans to scale back emergency lending after keeping its main interest rate at a record low. Gold futures, which usually move inversely to the greenback, have added 38 percent this year as the U.S. Dollar Index has lost 8.4 percent, sparking inflation concern.

“Momentum is very positive for gold,” Eliane Tanner, an analyst at Credit Suisse Group AG in Zurich, said today by phone. “Weakness in the dollar is expected to go on until the end of the year. Gold could have a strong year-end rally.”
