The euro remains under pressure as the US dollar firms ahead of key US services activity indicators. Investors are weighing the mix of resilient consumer demand and signs of softer employment, which supports the dollar via firmer Treasury yields and demand for safe-haven assets. The upcoming release of the US services activity index and fresh private-sector employment data shapes expectations for the Federal Reserve’s rate path and, overall, keeps the bias in favor of the dollar.
In the euro area, the backdrop is subdued: business activity in manufacturing and services remains muted, while inflation expectations have been revised lower following the ECB’s latest easing of financing conditions. The combination of soft domestic momentum and limited progress in credit growth sustains caution toward the euro. Recent ECB communication emphasizes stabilizing growth over the risks of re-accelerating inflation, which also weighs on the currency.
An additional factor is a generally risk-averse tone: concerns around the US budget and headlines on government spending bolster demand for the dollar as a reserve asset. Against this backdrop, the near-term risk balance for EURUSD remains tilted lower; if US data stay firm, the pair risks holding around multi-month lows.
Trading recommendation: SELL 1.14950, SL 1.15250, TP 1.14450
