EUR/USD: Unlikely to break clearly above 1.1675 – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

Euro (EUR) could rebound further, but it is unlikely to break clearly above 1.1675. In the longer run, EUR is now expected to trade in a range of 1.1580/1.1720, UOB Group's FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Peter Chia note.

EUR is now expected to trade in a range

24-HOUR VIEW: "We expected EUR to trade in a range of 1.1610/1.1675 yesterday. The subsequent price movements did not turn out as expected, as EUR dropped sharply to 1.1573 before rebounding strongly to close largely unchanged at 1.1637 (-0.04%). The strong rebound has led to a slight increase in upward momentum, and EUR could rebound further today and test the resistance at 1.1675. Based on the current momentum, EUR is unlikely to break clearly above this level. The next resistance at 1.1720 is not expected to come under threat. On the downside, support levels are at 1.1620 and 1.1595."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "Our most recent narrative was from two days ago (26 Aug, spot at 1.1630), in which we highlighted that EUR “is expected to trade in a range between 1.1580 and 1.1745 for now.” Although EUR fell below 1.1580 yesterday and reached a low of 1.1573, it rebounded strongly to close largely unchanged. The brief decline did not result in any clear increase in downward momentum. We continue to expect range-trading but now expect a narrower range of 1.1580/1.1720."

Gold drifts lower as Hormuz risks revive USD demand

Gold struggles to build on the overnight bounce from its lowest level since November 2025 as geopolitical risks stemming from an attack on a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz support the US Dollar.

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.
