EUR/USD Steady Amid Dollar Weakness & Inflation Watch
EUR/USD Price Chart
The EUR/USD pair is currently trading around 1.1800, exhibiting stability influenced by a weakening US dollar and ongoing monitoring of inflation in the Eurozone. Uncertainty surrounding US tariff policies, particularly following President Trump’s address and the Supreme Court’s rulings, is eroding confidence in the dollar, creating opportunities for the Euro. ECB President Christine Lagarde signals progress on inflation, projecting stabilization at 2% over the medium term, but emphasizes a data-dependent approach to monetary policy. However, European central bankers express concern over a rapidly strengthening Euro and its potential to fuel imported inflation. Technical analysis suggests potential for EUR/USD to move towards 1.1862 and 1.1888, supported by bullish momentum indicators, with key support levels around 1.1800 and 1.1750. Political risks, particularly in the UK, pose a potential downside risk to the Euro. Market participants are awaiting preliminary German CPI data for further direction. ING views 1.1750 as solid support unless there is a major escalation in the Iran situation.
