EUR/USD maintains above 1.0400 as chances increase of ECB postponing more rate cuts

The EUR/USD has been appreciating as traders anticipate the European Central Bank (ECB) to delay further rate cuts following a recent uptick in inflation. ECB’s Governing Council member Robert Holzmann mentioned that Trump’s tariffs could lead to a slowdown in overall growth but also create inflationary pressure. This has led to the EUR/USD pair extending its gains for the third consecutive day, with the pair trading around 1.0430 during the Asian hours on Monday. However, the potential upside of the pair might be limited as markets continue to digest the US Federal Reserve’s hawkish pivot, with the latest FOMC Dot Plot indicating only two rate cuts compared to the previous forecasted four.

The Euro serves as the currency for the 19 European Union countries that are part of the Eurozone, making it the second most traded currency globally after the US Dollar. In 2022, it accounted for 31% of all foreign exchange transactions, with an average daily turnover exceeding $2.2 trillion. The EUR/USD is the most traded currency pair, representing around 30% of all transactions, followed by EUR/JPY, EUR/GBP, and EUR/AUD. The European Central Bank based in Frankfurt, Germany, is the reserve bank for the Eurozone, responsible for setting interest rates and managing monetary policy to maintain price stability by controlling inflation or stimulating growth.

Eurozone inflation data, measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), is a crucial metric for the Euro. If inflation exceeds expectations, especially surpassing the ECB’s 2% target, it could prompt the ECB to raise interest rates to maintain control. Economic indicators such as GDP, Manufacturing and Services PMIs, employment, and consumer sentiment surveys also play a significant role in determining the health of the Eurozone economy. A strong economy typically attracts more foreign investment and may lead to the ECB raising interest rates, resulting in a stronger Euro. On the other hand, weak economic data could cause the Euro to depreciate.

Trade Balance is another important indicator for the Euro, measuring the difference between a country’s exports and imports over a specific period. A positive net Trade Balance, indicating that a country’s exports are in high demand, can strengthen its currency due to increased foreign demand. Additionally, the policies implemented by the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, such as tax cuts, tariffs, and deregulation, are expected to fuel inflation, potentially leading the US central bank to adjust its outlook for the upcoming year. This could have implications for the EUR/USD pair and the overall foreign exchange market.
