The single European currency remains under pressure following its recent rise, as market participants increasingly reassess the outlook for the US dollar. The American currency is supported by strong macroeconomic data, elevated Treasury yields, and ongoing expectations that the Federal Reserve will take a cautious approach to rate cuts.
Against this backdrop, demand for the dollar is strengthening, limiting the euro’s upside potential.
Investor focus shifts beyond the ECB
Although the market still expects another move from the European Central Bank, the potential rate change is already largely priced in. Attention is now turning to the regulator’s forward guidance. A lack of signals pointing to a more aggressive tightening stance could become an additional short-term bearish factor for the euro.
Economic risks persist
Additional pressure on the European currency comes from a mixed macroeconomic backdrop in the eurozone. While rising inflation sustains the need for tight monetary policy, weak business activity and moderate economic growth limit the ECB’s room for maneuver. Investors continue to closely monitor the balance between inflation risks and the region’s economic outlook.
Near-term outlook
In the short term, EUR/USD dynamics will be driven primarily by sentiment surrounding the US dollar and signals from major central banks. As long as the dollar maintains its fundamental support, the euro may remain under pressure. A sustained bullish trend in the euro will require new positive signals from the eurozone economy or a more dovish stance from the Federal Reserve.
Another rebound from support around 1.1600 is a positive factor for the pair, but below 1.1640–1.1660, the risks of a breakdown and a decline toward 1.1580–1.1550 remain elevated. A break above 1.1660 would open the way toward 1.1700, as I previously mentioned in the article EUR/USD slips toward 1.1600 ahead of ECB rate decision.
