EUR/USD: Likely to trade towards 1.0815 – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

The Euro (EUR) is likely to trade with a downward bias. Tentative buildup in momentum suggests downside risk; any further decline in EUR is unlikely to break clearly below 1.0815, UOB Group FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann.

EUR is unlikely to break clearly below 1.0815

24-HOUR VIEW: “We expected EUR to trade in a sideways range of 1.0875/1.0910 yesterday. Our view was incorrect, as EUR fell, reaching a low of 1.0842. EUR closed on a soft note at 1.0851 (-0.35%). Downward momentum is building, albeit tentatively. Today, the risk for EUR remains on the downside. Given the tentative buildup in momentum, any further decline is unlikely to break clearly below 1.0815. Resistance is at 1.0870; a breach of 1.0885 would mean that the momentum buildup has faded.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Two days ago (22 Jul, spot at 1.0895), we highlighted that ‘the recent EUR strength that started two weeks ago has come to an end.’ We added, ‘the current price action is likely part of a range trading phase,’ and we expected EUR to trade between 1.0845 and 1.0945. Yesterday, EUR fell slightly below the bottom of our expected range, reaching a low of 1.0842. Downward momentum is building, but not sufficiently enough to suggest a significant decline. From here, we expect EUR to trade with a downward bias, but the 1.0815 level is expected to provide solid support. The downward bias is intact as long as 1.0905 is not breached.”

GBP/USD stays weak below 1.3250 on UK politics, PMIs eyed

GBP/USD loses ground below 1.3250 in the European session on Tuesday.

The UK and US S&P Global preliminary PMI data are next of note for the major.

EUR/USD stays below 1.1450 after weak German 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. Meanwhile, the US Dollar holds the upper hand against the Euro amid risk-off sentiment and a hawkish Federal Reserve stance, leaving the pair on the defensive. Traders now await PMI data for the Eurozone, and the United States.

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.
