EUR/USD holds steady as Fed-ECB policy paths converge
EUR/USD consolidated near 1.0420 as markets assess converging monetary policy paths between the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank. The euro has shown resilience against the dollar despite ECB rate cut expectations, as Fed officials signal potential pause in their tightening cycle. Recent economic data from both regions suggests growth is moderating, reducing policy divergence that previously favored dollar strength. The pair trades within a tight 1.0400-1.0450 range, with traders awaiting clearer directional catalysts. Technical analysis shows neutral momentum indicators, with the 200-day moving average at 1.0435 acting as immediate resistance. Support remains solid at 1.0380, the January low. Market positioning data reveals reduced dollar longs, suggesting potential for euro appreciation if US data continues disappointing while European indicators stabilize.
