The euro weakens against the dollar as Fed hawkishness and geopolitical uncertainty drive risk-off sentiment in early trading.
The EUR/USD pair dropped to 1.1425 in early European trading Tuesday, extending losses below 1.1450. The decline follows a stronger US dollar, supported by hawkish Federal Reserve policy expectations and cautious market sentiment.
Prior to the move, the pair had stabilized near 1.1450, but uncertainty over US-Iran relations and broader risk aversion weighed on the euro. The Fed’s stance remains a key driver for USD strength, offsetting recent eurozone economic resilience.
Markets showed limited immediate reaction, with mild losses reflecting broader caution rather than a sharp shift in positioning.
