Eurozone

EUR/USD remains pressured by broad US Dollar strength, with Treasury yields near long term highs and markets pricing a stronger chance of another Federal Reserve rate increase. Technical traders are watching 1.1375 and 1.1406 as the pair consolidates inside a narrow decision zone.

EUR/USD extended its decline to 1.1430, its weakest level since July 29, as traders awaited flash manufacturing and services PMI releases from the US and the European Union. Technical momentum remains tilted to the downside while the pair trades below 1.1500, with 1.1353 viewed as the next bearish target by chart watchers.

EUR/USD has recovered despite weak eurozone growth signals, supported by widening expectations that the ECB may stay more hawkish than the Federal Reserve. The next major test is whether higher European gas prices reinforce inflation fears or revive recession concerns.

Luxembourg’s sovereign wealth fund (FSIL) becomes the first Eurozone nation fund to allocate 1% of its portfolio to Bitcoin ETFs. Under revised rules, up to 15% may now go to alternatives including crypto.
