The EUR/USD pair started 2025 on a bearish note, slipping further amid cautious market sentiment. Traders remained focused on central bank policies, with the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance supporting the U.S. dollar and exerting downward pressure on the euro. The pair dipped below key psychological levels, signaling potential volatility ahead.
Analysts attribute the decline to weak European manufacturing data, which highlighted lingering economic challenges in the Eurozone. In contrast, strong U.S. employment figures boosted expectations for additional monetary tightening, reinforcing the dollar’s strength. The pair’s performance could set the tone for upcoming trading sessions as investors await fresh economic indicators.
