EUR/USD Slips as Fed Stays Hawkish

52
EUR/USD hovered near 1.1520 during Friday’s Asian session, extending gains for a third day as the US dollar weakened, likely due to a technical pullback. However, the greenback may rebound as safe-haven demand grows amid rising tensions between the US and Iran.

Citing senior US intelligence, The New York Times reported that Iran hasn’t yet decided to pursue nuclear weapons, despite having enriched uranium reserves. Meanwhile, the Senate Intelligence Committee Chair said President Trump is set to offer Iran one final window to negotiate before considering military action, potentially delaying any decisions for up to two weeks.

Markets are also awaiting Friday’s Monetary Policy Report from the Federal Reserve, which will provide fresh insights into the Fed’s stance. On the Euro side, the ECB’s hawkish outlook offered additional support, with President Christine Lagarde suggesting rate cuts may soon end as the central bank remains “well positioned” to handle persistent risks.

Resistance is located at 1.1530, while support is seen at 1.1450
