The EUR/USD pair shows signs of strength as it moves higher from the 1.0950 area during the Asian session on Friday. Despite trading around 1.0975-1.0980, up just over 0.05%, the pair faces resistance from potential ECB rate cuts and a positive risk sentiment in the markets.
Investors are betting on a Fed rate cut in September, leading to a weaker US Dollar. This, coupled with a risk-on mood in global equities, is weighing on the safe-haven currency. However, concerns about the Middle East conflict and expectations of further ECB rate cuts are limiting the Euro’s gains against the Dollar.
Despite these factors, the EUR/USD pair is on track for modest weekly gains. Traders are closely watching US economic data releases for short-term trading opportunities later in the day.
