The EUR/USD pair was hovering around 1.1065 and dropped 1.1038, approaching daily lows after the release of the FOMC statement as the US Dollar rose moderately across the board.

As expected, the Fed cut rates 25bp to 1.75%-2.00%. The new projections show that seven out of 17 Fed staff members see another rate cut this year. Two members (George and Rosengren) voted against the rate cut while one member (Bullard) wanted a 50bps cut. Now trader await Powell’s press conference.

The Greenback rose immediately after the release of the statement but then pulled back. Equity prices turned lower but then moved off lows.

EUR/USD Levels to watch

So far EUR/USD has remained with today’s range. To the downside, immediate support might lie around 1.1035 followed by the strong 1.0990 area and 1.0960. On the upside, 1.1070/75 continues to be the resistance to break for a test of 1.1105/10. A close above 1.1110 would point to a continuation of the rally from 1.0925.

EUR/USD recovers further from one-month low set on Friday, eyes mid-1.1800s on weaker USD

The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 1.1835 area during the Asian session and is sponsored by a broadly weaker US Dollar.

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
