The EUR/USD pair has descended to 1.1027, marking its lowest point in three weeks. The drop reflects market anticipation that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to ease monetary policy aggressively, spurred by sluggish economic growth and inflation rates falling below the ECB&rsquo;s 2% target in the Eurozone.
Recent data revealed that the Eurozone&rsquo;s annual Consumer Price Index decreased to 1.8% in September, the lowest since April 2021 and below the forecasted 1.9%. Moreover, core inflation dipped to 2.7% year-on-year from 2.8%, contrary to expectations of remaining steady. These weaker-than-expected inflation figures have reinforced the likelihood of a rate cut at the upcoming ECB meeting in October, which would mark the third reduction in borrowing costs this year. The market currently places a 95% probability on a 25-basis-point cut.
Robust statistics from the US services sector have further pressured the EUR/USD exchange rate, adding to the euro&#39;s woes.
With a significant day ahead, the focus is now on the US job market reports, including the unemployment rate, Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP), and average wages, which could further influence the pair&rsquo;s movements.
<h3>EUR/USD Technical Analysis</h3>
<h2><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u117641/eurusdh4_66.png"><img alt="" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u117641/eurusdh4_66.png" style="height:275px; width:624px" /></a></h2>
The EUR/USD pair recently completed a downward wave to 1.1008, followed by a corrective rise to 1.1039. Today, the expectation is for a decline to 1.0982. After reaching this target, a potential corrective movement to 1.1066 may occur. Following this correction, another downward wave to 1.0966 is anticipated. The MACD indicator supports this bearish outlook, with its signal line positioned below zero and trending downwards.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u117641/eurusdh1_67.png"><img alt="" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u117641/eurusdh1_67.png" style="height:275px; width:624px" /></a>
On the hourly chart, the EUR/USD continues to develop its third wave of decline towards 1.0982. The pair formed a consolidation range around 1.1046 and achieved a local target at 1.1008 with a downward exit. A corrective move up to 1.1045 is expected today, which will likely be tested from below. Following this correction, a continued decline to 1.0982 is anticipated. The Stochastic oscillator corroborates this bearish scenario, with its signal line below 50 and poised to descend towards 20.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week of Oct. 4:</h1>
Mohawk Industries Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MHK#NYSE">MHK</a>): The flooring products company saw strong interest from Benzinga readers over the past week. The stock was one of the top-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in the third quarter.
Mohawk is likely getting attention from readers as the company is tossed around as a winner in the interest rate-cutting environment and could do well no matter which candidate wins the 2024 presidential election. With the company's position in flooring, Mohawk wins from more houses being built, which could be a key catalyst coming in the next year.
Mohawk is likely to report third-quarter financial results in October. Mohawk has beaten earnings per share estimates from analysts in six straight quarters and revenue estimates from analysts in five of the past six quarters.
Mohawk shares were up 0.4% over the past five trading days as seen on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent100424&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro chart</a> below and are up over 50% year-to-date in 2024.

Banner Bank (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BANR#NASDAQ">BANR</a>): The regional bank joins the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index with increased interest from readers. 
The bank, which has the majority of its branches in Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho and Utah, is set to report third-quarter financial results on Oct. 16. The bank has beaten analysts&#8217; estimates for earnings per share in four straight quarters and analyst estimates for revenue in three straight quarters. 
Raymond James recently maintained an Outperform rating on the stock and raised the price target from $62 to $65. With the recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead">interest rate cut </a>and the potential for more later this year, bank stocks are likely in the spotlight for investors.
Banner Bank shares were down on the week and are up 10.7% year-to-date in 2024.

American Airlines Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) shares are trading higher by 6.50% to $11.53 during Friday&#8217;s session amid a report that Spirit Airlines is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41182466/spirit-airlines-drops-over-40-amid-bankruptcy-discussions">engaging in bankruptcy talks</a> with bondholders, sending ripples through the airline industry. Spirit&#8217;s stock plummeted more than 40% in pre-market trading, signaling deep financial troubles for the budget carrier.
This development comes as Spirit struggles to manage a $3.3 billion debt load, including over $1.1 billion in secured bonds maturing imminently, while facing the possibility of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
Why This Matters: For American Airlines, Spirit&#8217;s potential collapse presents a significant opportunity in several key areas. First and foremost, Spirit&#8217;s financial woes could lead to a reduced presence in the budget airline market. This would provide legacy carriers like American Airlines the chance to capture market share, especially among budget-conscious travelers who may now look to competitors for affordable flight options.

Furthermore, Spirit&#8217;s recent challenges—including cutting capacity by nearly 20% in the fourth quarter due to supply chain issues like the recall of Pratt &amp; Whitney engines—means that there could be fewer seats available in the market overall. 
This could lead to increased demand for flights from American Airlines, which would allow the company to adjust its pricing and potentially boost revenue on key domestic routes.
What Else: Additionally, with Spirit under financial strain, American Airlines could benefit from less competition in certain markets where Spirit has been a low-cost disruptor. The potential reduction in low-cost options for travelers might allow American Airlines to attract more price-sensitive customers who are now left with fewer choices. 
Spirit's struggles might also prompt cost-cutting competitors like JetBlue to realign their strategies, further solidifying American&#8217;s dominant position in certain U.S. markets.
Moreover, with Spirit cutting capacity and facing operational challenges due to grounded planes and possible pilot furloughs, there is a possibility that American Airlines could absorb displaced travelers. 
In the short term, this could result in increased bookings and higher load factors for American's flights, especially as travelers prioritize reliability during times of uncertainty.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy AAL Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for American Airlines &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of American Airlines, which is trading at $11.77 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 8.5 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, AAL has a 52-week high of $16.15 and a 52-week low of $9.07.
