Euro US Dollar Exchange Rate - EUR/USD - Summary

The euro held above $1.165 in the final full week of August, its strongest since mid-May, as investors anticipate a more hawkish ECB amid geopolitical tensions and await details on Iran sanctions. The ECB is widely expected to raise interest rates in September, following its June tightening to curb inflation pressures triggered by the US-Iran conflict and its impact on energy prices. Oil remains above $90 per barrel, with risks of further supply constraints for refined fuels, low gas inventories, and a prolonged conflict that could extend beyond November's US midterm elections. A September hike would lift the deposit rate to 2.5%, but bets on further tightening are rising. Markets see a 25% chance of 3% by March 2027 and 60% by September. Meanwhile, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will hold a press conference after threatening "the toughest sanctions in history" on Iran, with markets watching for potential China targets. Iran’s foreign minister dismissed the sanctions as desperate.

Euro Steady at Over Three-Month High

Euro Picks Up to 14-Week High
The euro strengthened above $1.170, reaching its highest level since May, boosted by improving European economic data and a weaker US dollar. Eurozone business activity continued to expand in August, with manufacturing showing a marked improvement, particularly in Germany, while services growth remained modest. The currency also benefited from a softer dollar following the US Treasury’s decision to increase its bond buyback programme, which pushed long-term Treasury yields lower and weighed on the greenback. Meanwhile, Eurozone consumers slightly lowered their inflation expectations, with anticipated price growth over the next year falling to 2.9% from 3% in June. However, inflation remains well above the ECB’s 2% target, keeping expectations of further monetary tightening alive following June’s rate increase. Investors are also assessing recent volatility in global bond markets, where concerns over persistent inflation and high government spending have pushed yields higher.

Euro Strengthens to 3-Month High
The euro strengthened to $1.168, the highest in three months, and tracking the jump in G10 currencies after the US Treasury raised its bond buyback limits and triggered a plunge in the dollar. The US Treasury doubled the limit of long-term notes and bonds to be repurchased next financial quarter, likely raising dollar liquidity from the US Treasury General Account. The measures signaled that Washington is prioritizing lower long-term yields, opting instead to raise dollar supply to strengthen currencies in the DXY basket. Meanwhile, soaring natural gas prices in Europe due to the supply shortages from the Middle East were expected to maintain upside risks on inflation. The European Central Bank is expected to deliver more rate hikes this year to combat price growth.
