The currency pair trades near 1.1433 as investors await June FOMC minutes for clues on Fed policy direction.
The EUR/USD pair dipped slightly to 1.1433 in European trading Tuesday, pressured by a modest rise in the US Dollar. The US Dollar Index (DXY) climbed to 100.92, reflecting cautious sentiment ahead of Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee minutes release.
Investors are parsing the FOMC minutes for insights into why policymakers avoided forward guidance during June’s meeting. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh previously stated that forward guidance was unsuitable given current conditions. The European Central Bank has similarly refrained from signaling future moves, with officials declining to comment on July’s decision.
Technically, EUR/USD remains below its 20-day exponential moving average at 1.1460, reinforcing a near-term bearish outlook.
