EUR/USD remains under pressure as investors continue to favor the U.S. dollar amid renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Fresh reports of escalating confrontation involving the U.S. and Iran have increased demand for traditional safe haven assets, limiting the euro's ability to recover despite relatively resilient eurozone fundamentals.
Higher energy prices also reinforce inflation concerns, supporting the dollar through higher U.S. Treasury yields and expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain a restrictive policy stance for longer.
ECB remains cautious as inflation risks persist
The European Central Bank continues to balance slowing economic activity against renewed inflation pressures stemming from higher energy costs. While the ECB recently raised interest rates and maintains a data dependent approach, policymakers have avoided providing firm guidance on additional tightening. Investors now expect incoming inflation and growth data to determine whether further policy action becomes necessary, leaving EUR/USD primarily driven by changes in Fed expectations and broader global risk sentiment.
Global economy faces growing uncertainty
Beyond monetary policy, investors are closely monitoring the broader macroeconomic backdrop. The latest IMF assessment warns that renewed conflict in the Middle East could keep global inflation elevated while slowing economic growth through higher energy prices and renewed supply chain disruptions. At the same time, markets remain focused on upcoming U.S. inflation data and Federal Reserve communication, which could significantly influence Treasury yields and the direction of the dollar over the coming sessions.
Technical outlook points to critical support zone
The daily chart shows EUR/USD consolidating around the 1.1400 support area, which coincides with an important demand zone highlighted on the chart. Although selling pressure has eased, the pair continues to trade below its short, medium, and long-term moving averages, indicating that the broader technical bias remains negative. A sustained recovery above the nearby resistance area would improve the short-term outlook, while a decisive break below the current support zone could expose the pair to a deeper decline as safe haven demand continues to favor the U.S. dollar.
As already noted in the article EUR/USD consolidates as ECB expectations offset resilient dollar, the pair may continue to trade within its current range in the near term.
