Greek deal hopes and China's improving growth momentum lift market mood

Risky assets advanced this week as economic indicators showed improving growth momentum in China and the US, while the economic recession did not intensify in the eurozone. Optimism about an imminent agreement on a debt-reduction package for Greece also contributed to improve market sentiment. Spain took advantage of more positive market mood and it managed to sell EUR8.8bn in government bonds and Treasury bills, helping sentiment toward risk assets. In this context, negative impact of the French credit rating downgrading was quite mute. Peripheral risk premia narrowed notably across the board this week. Notwithstanding the safe-haven yields rose, the reaction in the short-end of the German yield curve was quite limited. At the end of the week, oil prices fell due to ceasefire agreed between Israel and Hamas, reducing one of the global market headwinds. Finally, Japanese yen is being dragged by expectation of Japanese Liberal Democratic Party expectation to win elections on December 16, which backs an ease monetary policy

Today's market headlines will be almost entirely dominated by the EU FinMin meeting, with reports over the weekend suggesting a Greece debt deal is still up in the air. On Saturday, finance ministers held a teleconference, which failed to clear up the picture in this regard. The Greek-based paper Kathimerini, citing sources familiar with the talks, suggests an agreement may not be inked until December 3, while portals like Reuters sound more optimistic.-FXstreet.com

Upwards scenario: Resuming of the uptrend is possible above the next resistance level at 1.6051 (R1). Clearance of this level might expose next targets at 1.6067 (R2) and 1.6081 (R3). Downwards scenario: Market deviates from the uptrend formation and currently trades on the session low. Further market decline is limited to next support level at 1.6010 (S1), with only clear break here would be a signal of market weakening with next targets at 1.5996 (S2) and 1.5981 (S3).

Upwards scenario: Our bullish expectations remain intact, above the next resistance level at 82.61 (R1). Break here would suggest next targets at 82.79 (R2) and 82.98 (R3) in potential. Downwards scenario: Bearish penetration below the support at 82.15 (S1) might determine negative sentiment for the remaining of the day with possible targets in focus at 81.96 (S2) and 81.77 (S3) intraday.
