Euro advances amid calmer conditions
The euro jumped to $1.1381 during morning trading, its highest level in several sessions. This rise is driven by easing geopolitical pressures, along with improved market sentiment, which has pushed investors towards European assets.
Analysts believe that continued stability in trade relations between Washington and Brussels could push the euro further towards new technical levels, most notably 1.1400 and then 1.1425 in the short term, provided there are no negative statements or surprises in monetary policy.
Expectations and Expected Movements
Meanwhile, markets are still awaiting potential statements from Federal Reserve officials that could affect risk appetite and alter the course of the European currency. Inflation and growth data from both the European and US sides will also remain influential factors in the coming days.
