EURUSD:
EUR/USD begins the session recovering from last week’s decline. The pause in US strikes against Iran and the drop in oil prices have eased concerns about renewed acceleration in US inflation. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note has fallen, while the probability of an immediate Federal Reserve rate increase has declined slightly. As a result, the dollar has lost some of the demand generated by geopolitical tensions.

For the euro, the outcome of the ECB’s latest meeting remains important. The central bank kept interest rates unchanged and confirmed that it would continue assessing incoming data without committing to a predetermined policy path. Uncertainty surrounding the energy shock is limiting a stronger recovery in the single currency, although today’s decline in oil prices reduces the risk of additional pressure on the eurozone economy and supports demand for the euro.
The main driver of the current session is the dollar’s correction ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting, which begins on Tuesday. The market still expects the US central bank to deliver restrictive signals, limiting the upside potential for EUR/USD. Nevertheless, the latest momentum reflects lower Treasury yields and weaker defensive demand for the dollar, making a moderate continuation of the pair’s recovery the base-case scenario.
