The US Dollar climbed against major currencies as robust domestic economic data reinforced the narrative of American economic resilience. According to reports, the ISM Services PMI report for May came in better than anticipated, providing a fundamental lift to the greenback. Additionally, ongoing geopolitical risks, specifically the lack of resolution in US-Iran tensions, have maintained a risk premium, driving safe-haven flows into the US currency.
This strength is highlighted by a widening economic divergence, as US GDP growth was recorded at 1.6% in the most recent quarterly data, up from a previous 0.5% per market data. Meanwhile, European indicators remain subdued, with Spanish Business Confidence at -3.7 and Eurozone Economic Sentiment at 93.5, providing little support for the EURUSD pair relative to the surging dollar.
