EUR/USD rebounds into near-term median after US PMI surges above forecasts
- EUR/USD knocks back after a firm rally as safe-haven bids step up.
- US PMI beats take center stage as rate cut hopes wither further.
- A beat for the EU Manufacturing PMI helped kick off a EUR/USD climb.
The EUR/USD drove back into the high side near 1.0930 on Wednesday after markets shrugged off a miss for pan-European Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) figures before a follow-up beat in US PMIs sent risk appetite skidding back into the safe havens. The pair gained over a full percent bottom-to-top climbing from the previous day’s low of 1.0821 before getting pushed back into a familiar technical level near 1.0900.
European PMIs broadly printed in the sub-50.0 region, suggesting the broader euro area economy remains in contraction territory, and nearly all missed market expectations with the exception of a single bright spot in the manufacturing sector. Meanwhile, US PMIs broadly beat the Street, with a climb to multi-month highs in both manufactured goods and the service sector.

Technical Outlook: EUR/USD continues to splash around in tight congestion zone
EUR/USD finds itself getting dumped back into the 1.0900 handle near the 200-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) on Wednesday as the pair struggles to find real momentum, keeping the pair pinned to near-term technical levels amidst a broader push into mid-term consolidation. A widening consolidation range is highlighting the increased volatility in the EUR/USD despite keeping the pair close to long-term support near 1.0850.
Daily candlesticks have the EUR/USD stuck in the middle of a consolidation pattern between the 50-day and 200-day SMAs at 1.0920 and 1.0850, respectively. The Euro-Dollar pair is set to drift until a meaningful push develops in either direction.

Euro FAQs
What is the Euro?
The Euro is the currency for the 20 European Union countries that belong to the Eurozone. It is the second most heavily traded currency in the world behind the US Dollar. In 2022, it accounted for 31% of all foreign exchange transactions, with an average daily turnover of over $2.2 trillion a day.
EUR/USD is the most heavily traded currency pair in the world, accounting for an estimated 30% off all transactions, followed by EUR/JPY (4%), EUR/GBP (3%) and EUR/AUD (2%).
What is the ECB and how does it impact the Euro?
The European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt, Germany, is the reserve bank for the Eurozone. The ECB sets interest rates and manages monetary policy.
The ECB’s primary mandate is to maintain price stability, which means either controlling inflation or stimulating growth. Its primary tool is the raising or lowering of interest rates. Relatively high interest rates – or the expectation of higher rates – will usually benefit the Euro and vice versa.
The ECB Governing Council makes monetary policy decisions at meetings held eight times a year. Decisions are made by heads of the Eurozone national banks and six permanent members, including the President of the ECB, Christine Lagarde.
How does inflation data impact the value of the Euro?
Eurozone inflation data, measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), is an important econometric for the Euro. If inflation rises more than expected, especially if above the ECB’s 2% target, it obliges the ECB to raise interest rates to bring it back under control.
Relatively high interest rates compared to its counterparts will usually benefit the Euro, as it makes the region more attractive as a place for global investors to park their money.
How does economic data influence the value of the Euro?
Data releases gauge the health of the economy and can impact on the Euro. Indicators such as GDP, Manufacturing and Services PMIs, employment, and consumer sentiment surveys can all influence the direction of the single currency.
A strong economy is good for the Euro. Not only does it attract more foreign investment but it may encourage the ECB to put up interest rates, which will directly strengthen the Euro. Otherwise, if economic data is weak, the Euro is likely to fall.
Economic data for the four largest economies in the euro area (Germany, France, Italy and Spain) are especially significant, as they account for 75% of the Eurozone’s economy.
How does the Trade Balance impact the Euro?
Another significant data release for the Euro is the Trade Balance. This indicator measures the difference between what a country earns from its exports and what it spends on imports over a given period.
If a country produces highly sought after exports then its currency will gain in value purely from the extra demand created from foreign buyers seeking to purchase these goods. Therefore, a positive net Trade Balance strengthens a currency and vice versa for a negative balance.
