The EUR/USD pair slipped below the 1.0500 mark, reflecting renewed strength in the US Dollar as the US Dollar Index (DXY) rebounded from recent monthly lows. The dollar’s recovery was bolstered by a shift in sentiment, with traders reassessing expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts amid persistent inflation concerns.
Market participants noted that euro weakness was also a contributing factor, with softer-than-expected data from the eurozone adding to bearish momentum. Analysts highlighted that the combination of a stronger dollar and lackluster eurozone performance could signal further pressure on the currency pair in the near term.
As the EUR/USD remains under the psychological threshold, traders are closely monitoring upcoming economic indicators and central bank commentary for further direction.
