Euro Slips to $1.1338 Ahead of Fed Decision
The euro fell 0.2% to $1.1338 on Wednesday, retreating from recent gains amid political developments in Germany. Although the U.S. dollar remained under pressure due to global outflows and trade-related uncertainty, the euro lacked clear direction as markets awaited the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. With rates likely to remain unchanged, uncertainty around future cuts and U.S. inflation kept EUR/USD range-bound.
Resistance levels are seen at 1.1460, then 1.1580 and 1.1680, while support rests at 1.1260, followed by 1.1200 and 1.1150.

Euro Strengthens on Political Shifts
EUR/USD traded just above 1.1300 on Thursday, staying in a tight range as reduced political uncertainty in Europe and a softer U.S. dollar offered mixed cues. The euro was supported by news of Friedrich Merz becoming Germany’s chancellor, while the dollar struggled despite a hawkish Fed pause, as Powell flagged tariff-related risks. Traders are focused on Trump’s press conference at 14:00 GMT and U.S. jobless claims for near-term direction.

Euro Nears 1.1230 on Cautious ECB
EUR/USD edged up to 1.1230 in Friday’s Asian session, paring earlier losses caused by stronger U.S. data and easing trade tensions that supported the dollar. The euro remains under pressure as markets price in possible ECB rate cuts by June, though officials maintain confidence in inflation reaching the 2% target by year-end.
The pair faces resistance at 1.1260, with further upside capped near 1.1460 and 1.1580. On the downside, support is seen at 1.1150, followed by 1.1100 and 1.1050.

EUR/USD at 1.1200 as Dollar Weakens on Soft CPI
EUR/USD climbed to around 1.1195 in Wednesday’s Asian session, recovering after a sharp 2.5% drop. The rebound followed underperforming U.S. CPI data for April, with annual inflation slowing to 2.3% from 2.4%, the lowest since February 2021.
Core CPI remained steady at 2.8%, in line with expectations. The softer data pressured the U.S. dollar and lifted the euro. Attention now shifts to Germany’s HICP release for fresh direction.
The pair faces resistance at 1.1260, with further upside at 1.1460 and 1.1580, while support sits at 1.1040, followed by 1.1000 and 1.0960.

Euro Rises Near 1.1200 on Reserve Status
EUR/USD traded around 1.1200 during Thursday’s Asian session, rebounding ahead of the Eurozone’s Q1 2025 GDP report. The Euro remains supported by its rising role in global reserves, with Capital Economics noting its strongest position in years. U.S. policies under President Trump set this shift in motion, which is seen as weakening the dollar’s appeal as a popular asset. Germany’s increased fiscal spending has also lifted euro demand.
Despite ECB officials signaling more rate cuts, the Euro holds steady against a softer U.S. Dollar, which remains pressured by lingering trade uncertainty. Markets are now focused on U.S. retail sales and PPI data, while speculation grows that the U.S. might allow a weaker Dollar to aid exports.
EUR/USD faces resistance at 1.1260, with further upside near 1.1460 and 1.1580. Support begins at 1.1040, followed by 1.1000 and 1.0960.

EUR/USD Rises to 1.12 as ECB Cut Bets Grow
The euro rose to $1.12 on Friday, supported by a softer U.S. dollar following weaker inflation data and lingering caution around U.S.-China trade developments. Although a 90-day tariff truce was reached, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods remain elevated at around 40%, maintaining trade friction. Meanwhile, the market is nearly fully pricing in a European Central Bank rate cut in June, with expectations of the deposit rate falling to 1.79% by year-end. ECB policymakers have signaled further easing may be needed as inflation trends toward the 2% target.
EUR/USD now faces resistance at 1.1260, with additional levels at 1.1460 and 1.1580. On the downside, initial support is seen at 1.1040, followed by 1.1000 and 1.0960.

US Credit Downgrade and Brexit Progress Lift Euro
The euro approached the $1.13 mark on Tuesday, extending its rebound from the one-month low recorded on May 12. The rally followed a broad-based weakening in the US dollar after Moody’s downgraded the US credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, citing mounting government debt and widening fiscal deficits. The downgrade sparked investor concerns about long-term US economic stability and pressured dollar-denominated assets.
The EU and UK finalized a provisional agreement addressing key post-Brexit issues such as defense, fisheries, youth mobility, and security cooperation. The deal may pave the way for UK companies to participate in major EU defense projects, marking a potential turning point in EU-UK relations.
The European Central Bank is expected to initiate a rate cut in June, with additional easing possible later in the year. Despite these expectations, the euro has held firm, buoyed by both geopolitical developments and dollar weakness.
EUR/USD now faces resistance at 1.1260, with further upside barriers at 1.1460 and 1.1580. Support lies at 1.1040, followed by 1.1000 and 1.0960.
