The EUR/USD currency pair ended the week near the 1.1640 level, posting a weekly loss of around 0.7%. The fall came as the US Dollar remained strong against major global currencies.
Throughout the week, the Dollar gained support due to strong US economic data and higher bond yields, which reduced demand for the Euro. Traders also stayed cautious ahead of key economic updates from the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB).
The Euro struggled to recover as concerns over slow economic growth in the Eurozone continued to weigh on sentiment. As a result, the EUR/USD pair remained under pressure and failed to hold higher levels.
Market experts say the near-term trend for EUR/USD remains weak, and further movement will depend on upcoming inflation data, interest rate cues, and global risk sentiment.
