EUR/USD traded near 1.1265 in Asian trade, gaining for a second day as the US dollar fell to its lowest since late September after a Democratic sweep in the US midterms. Eurozone annual headline inflation rose to 4.0% in October, a three-year high, boosting bets on a 25 bps ECB rate hike in December.
A weaker dollar and expected ECB tightening support the euro, which lowers the dollar cost of euro-denominated import demand and may modestly firm US dollar-priced commodities. A breakout above the one-month range would strengthen that signal, while French debt and political concerns cap gains.
