EURUSD:
The euro is receiving moderate support from a combination of two factors: the US dollar is losing some demand ahead of the Federal Reserve decision, while the ECB remains ready to respond to inflation risks. Even after the decline in oil prices, the energy factor has not fully disappeared for the euro area. As a result, the market is cautiously assessing the likelihood of further steps by the central bank. For EUR/USD, this creates a more stable foundation than at the beginning of the week.

At the same time, the euro’s rise does not look one-sided. The euro area economy remains sensitive to energy costs, while business activity may come under pressure if companies pass higher costs on to consumers more slowly than the market expects. However, the latest ECB signals show that inflation remains the key reference point. This limits the room for a rapid softening of expectations around the euro.
The dollar is being held back by uncertainty ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting. Market participants are waiting not only for the rate decision, but also for guidance on the future policy path. If the central bank maintains a cautious tone without strengthening expectations of a rate increase, demand for the dollar may remain limited. In this scenario, EUR/USD retains fundamental grounds for further gains.
