FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Euro (EUR) strength has ended; for the time being, it is likely to trade in a range between 1.0845 and 1.0945, UOB Group FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann notes.

EUR/USD trades towards 1.0845

24-HOUR VIEW: “We indicated yesterday that ‘barring a break below 1.0875, EUR could edge higher.’ We added, ‘given the lackluster momentum, a sustained break above 1.0920 is unlikely.’ However, EUR did not edge higher, as it traded sideways between 1.0871 and 1.0902, closing at 1.0889 (+0.11%). Further sideways trading seems likely today, probably in a range of 1.0875/1.0910.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “There is not much to add to our update from yesterday (22 Jul, spot at 1.0895). As highlighted, the recent EUR strength that started two weeks ago has come to an end. The current price action is likely part of a range trading phase. For the time being, we expect EUR to trade between 1.0845 and 1.0945.”

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.

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.
