Interest-rate expectations
Markets respond not only to current interest rates but also to expectations about what the European Central Bank and US Federal Reserve may do next. Changes in the expected path of rates can alter the relative appeal of the euro and US dollar.
Economic data and surprises
Inflation, employment, growth and business-activity data can influence expectations. A release should be compared with the market forecast and previous reading rather than judged in isolation.
Risk sentiment and positioning
Geopolitical events, liquidity and broader risk sentiment can affect major currencies. Short-term price behaviour can therefore move even when there is no single euro or US data release driving the market.
