EUR/USD: Bulls may turn the tide above 1.0845 – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Provided that Euro (EUR) remains below 1.0845, it could drop below 1.0800. The support at 1.0760 is unlikely to come under threat, UOB Group FX strategists Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

EUR is closing in on 1.0845

24-HOUR VIEW: “Our view of EUR trading sideways was incorrect, as it fell to a low of 1.0801. EUR closed at 1.0819 (-0.35%). Downward momentum has increased, albeit not much. Today, provided that EUR remains below 1.0845 (minor resistance is at 1.0835), it could drop below 1.0800. The major support at 1.0760 is unlikely to come under threat.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Our most recent narrative was from last Wednesday (24 Jul, spot at 1.0850), wherein EUR ‘is likely to trade with a downward bias, but the 1.0815 level is expected to provide solid support.’ We added, ‘if EUR breaks clearly below 1.0815, the next level to watch is 1.0760.’ After trading sideways for a few days, EUR fell sharply yesterday, breaking below 1.0815 (low of 1.0801). The focus is now at 1.0760. We will continue to hold a negative EUR view as long as 1.0870 (‘strong resistance’ level previously at 1.0890) is not breached.”

GBP/USD extends losses toward 1.3200 after weak UK PMI data

GBP/USD loses further ground toward 1.3200 in the European session on Tuesday. Political uncertainty in the United Kingdom weighs on the British Pound, alongside weak business PMI data for June. Meanwhile, the US Dollar capitalizes on the risk-off mood and hawkish Fed bets ahead of the US PMI release.

EUR/USD stays weak below 1.1450 after German, EU PMI data

EUR/USD struggles to stage a rebound and trades below 1.1450 in the European session on Tuesday, after the data from Germany showed that the Composite PMI declined to 48 in June from 48.8 May, while that from the Eurozone rose to 49.5. Meanwhile, the US Dollar holds the upper hand against the Euro amid risk-off sentiment and a hawkish Fed outlook, leaving the pair on the defensive. Traders now await the US PMI data.

Gold drops to nearly two-week low, seems vulnerable amid Fed hike bets, bullish USD

Gold adds to its Asian session losses, and drops to a nearly two-week low, around the $4,115 region in the last hour amid a bullish US Dollar. Despite positive signals from US-Iran peace talks, widespread skepticism remains toward a final deal. This helps the USD in preserving its recent strong gains to the highest level since May 2025.

Bears cap Solana below $75 as ETF, retail demand wanes

Solana edges below $72 risking a third consecutive day of losses that could erase the 5% gains from Friday. SOL-focused Exchange Traded Funds reflect muted demand from institutional investors following a minor recovery last week. Meanwhile, retail trading activity hints at a bearish positional buildup.

Big day of PMIs ahead

In the euro area, June flash PMIs are released. Most respondents will likely have answered after the US-Iran deal, yet the impact of lower oil prices is unlikely to already show up in activity data. We expect manufacturing to edge down to 50.9 (May: 51.6), while we expect services to see a modest improvement to 48.8 (May: 47.7).

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
