The euro is supported by the ECB’s decision to raise interest rates and revise its inflation forecasts higher. For EUR/USD, the key factor is not only the rate move itself, but also the signal that the central bank is ready to contain the pass-through of the energy shock into prices. At the same time, the eurozone growth forecast was lowered, so demand for the euro remains cautious. The region’s economy is sensitive to energy costs and weak business activity.
The US dollar is losing ground after reports of a framework agreement between the US and Iran and a decline in oil prices. For the market, this reduces concerns over a new wave of energy-driven inflation and makes expectations for the Federal Reserve less one-sided. The US central bank is likely to keep rates unchanged at its next meeting. However, if pressure from oil prices eases, demand for the US dollar as a defensive asset may decline.
As a result, EUR/USD has room to recover, although the pair’s upside is limited by weak eurozone prospects. A scenario in which the euro remains supported by the ECB while the US dollar loses part of its caution premium looks more sustainable. If the current fundamental backdrop remains in place, the buying idea is consistent with a moderate shift in sentiment in favor of EUR/USD.
Trading idea: BUY 1.16000, SL 1.15700, TP 1.16900
