Predicted for 31. December 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
EUR/USD was at 1.1367 on July 24, 2026. Closing above 1.15 by December 31 requires +1.2% appreciation over five months. Structural EUR drivers: (1) ECB rate hike in September 2026 very likely — narrowing the US-Eurozone rate differential; (2) US fiscal policy under Trump (rising deficits, debt ceiling dynamics) is structurally USD-weakening; (3) any Iran ceasefire-driven oil price decline would ease the Eurozone trade balance. Headwinds: potential further Fed hikes (September +25bp already predicted); tariff risks from US trade policy; geopolitical uncertainty. No specific December 2026 forward market quote available; own calibration slightly below 50% given two-sided risks.
Data basis for this prediction
- EUR/USD 1.1367 (Trading Economics, 24.07.2026)
- EZB signalisiert September-Leitzinserhöhung zunehmend wahrscheinlich (ECB/Trading Economics, Juli 2026)

The BLS releases October 2026 CPI on November 10, 2026 at 8:30 AM ET. Nowflation forecasts 3.82 percent YoY; the Cleveland Fed nowcasting model forecasts 3.74 percent — both clearly above the 3.7 percent threshold. The September 2026 prior reading was exactly 3.7 percent. Rising energy prices (Strait of Hormuz effectively closed since mid-October) and stable core inflation support a further uptick. An existing open platform prediction covers CPI >3.5%; this forecast raises the bar by 20 basis points. A miss would primarily require unexpected weakness in the energy component or food prices.

Gold (XAU/USD) rose to $4,134.83 on 5 November 2026 — driven by the Democratic midterm sweep (higher fiscal spending expected) and persistent inflation pressure. Kalshi's Dec 31 settlement market shows ~32% probability for a close above $4,400 and ~43% for above $4,300. Reaching the $4,400 year-end target would require a further ~6.4% gain. Supporting factors: fiscal expansion, geopolitical risks, structurally high central bank demand; UBS forecasts $4,800, JPMorgan $6,000 at year-end. Headwind: hawkish Fed stance (Polymarket: 72.5% for a December rate hike to 4.00–4.25%). Prediction anchors on Kalshi's ~32% for >$4,400.

Gold traded at approximately $4,130 per troy ounce on November 5, 2026 — a one-day gain of +1.68% (+$66) following the Democratic midterm sweep (Democrats won both the Senate and the House, per AP/NBC, November 5, 2026). Polymarket prices a 49% probability of gold exceeding $4,200 in November (as of November 5, 2026). The target is only 1.7% above today's closing level with 25 trading days remaining. Upside drivers: Iran de-escalation by new Democratic Congress, falling oil prices (WTI −1.13% to $87.13). Risk factors: profit-taking, rising real yields.
