EUR/USD: the bid is stalling at 1.0680 on profit taking

Currently, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0640, up 0.64% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.0685 and low at 1.0572.

EUR/USD has levelled out at the mid-point of the 1.06 handle on the back of broad based dollar weakness as the market unwinds the Trump hysteria trade after yesterday's lack of conviction or indeed anything concrete or soft for the matter in respect to fiscal policy. "In these circumstances, uncertainty related to President elect Trump's policies could result in a bumpy ride for the US dollar in the year ahead," explained analysts at Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, adding, "The US dollar rally is already long in the tooth, but appears set for one final leg higher."

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.
