Sign InAmid rising concerns over a cooling US labor market, the Euro exchange rate rose to near 1.1455 against the US Dollar. Disappointing Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) data triggered widespread selling pressure on the greenback, shifting momentum significantly in favor of the single currency. According to reports, the weak employment figures undermined confidence in the US Dollar and catalyzed the Euro's surge to weekly highs.
This move comes as Eurozone data showed resilient economic sentiment, with the EU Economic Sentiment index reaching 95 on June 29, 2026, beating the 94.3 forecast per market data. Conversely, US consumer confidence remains fragile, with the Michigan Consumer Sentiment index printing at 49.5 on June 26, 2026, slightly below expectations and highlighting the divergence in recent macroeconomic indicators between the two regions.
Traders should closely watch the upcoming speech by ECB President Christine Lagarde for further policy clues. Additionally, the market is awaiting China's Manufacturing PMI data scheduled for tomorrow, which could impact global risk sentiment. The EUR/USD pair remains near its weekly highs, with investors focused on whether the pair can sustain its position above the 1.1450 level.
