EUR/USD dips lower with the Dollar rallying after a US court ban on tariffs

update 2025.05.29 17:18

  • EUR/USD extends losses as the USD is boosted in a risk-relief rally.
  • The market has welcomed a US court decision to block trade tariffs. 
  • In Europe, weak macroeconomic figures keep acting as a headwind for the Euro recovery.

EUR/USD is trading with moderate losses, around 1.1275 at the time of writing, after bouncing up from 1.1213 lows on the back of a significant US Dollar (USD) jump, following a US court ruling against trade tariffs.

The three judges from the US Court of International Trade have voted unanimously against US President Donald Trump's sweeping trade tariffs, as they consider that the exclusive authority to regulate commerce resides with Congress.

The news has boosted risk appetite, triggering significant rallies on the US Dollar and sending Asian Stock markets higher. Eurozone and Wall Street futures are also pointing to a positive opening. 

Investors have welcomed the court ruling. Trump's tariffs had fuelled concerns that higher inflationary pressures and a weaker economic outlook would pose a headache to the Federal Reserve (Fed), as the minutes of the last monetary policy meeting revealed.

The US Government, however, appealed the sentence quickly, which suggests that a lengthy process will follow. This might halt the relief rally at some point, but so far, the positive market mood has reversed the "Sell America" trade.

Euro PRICE Today

The table below shows the percentage change of Euro (EUR) against listed major currencies today. Euro was the strongest against the Swiss Franc.

USD EUR GBP JPY CAD AUD NZD CHF
USD 0.13% 0.03% 0.28% -0.13% -0.35% 0.02% 0.34%

Daily digest market movers: The Dollar jumps as a US court blocks trade tariffs


  • The US Court of International Trade has invalidated with immediate effect Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs and instructed the administration to issue orders reflecting the ruling within the next ten days. The government appealed the sentence, questioning the court's authority.
  • The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the Greenback against six major currencies, has returned above the 100.00 psychological level and is trading about 1.8% above last week's lows.
  • The news on levies has also prompted investors to pare back Fed easing hopes. Futures markets are now pricing an average of 42 basis points of interest rate cuts this year, down from 50 earlier this week.
  • On Wednesday, the Minutes of the last Federal Reserve meeting reflected the central bank's concerns about the risks of stagflation. Such a scenario would force the Fed to prioritize one of its two mandates: promoting employment or fighting inflation, which would deteriorate investors' confidence in the US Dollar and other US assets.
  • Eurozone macroeconomic data failed to inspire on Wednesday. German Unemployment Rate remained steady at 6.3% despite a higher-than-expected increase in layoffs. France's Nonfarm Payrolls declined to -0.1% against expectations of 0%, and Consumer Spending rose well below forecasts, 0.3% against 0.8%.
  • In the US calendar today, the second estimation of the first quarter's GDP and several Fed speakers will provide some fundamental background for the US Dollar ahead of Friday's all-important Personal Consumption (PCE) Price Index release.

Technical analysis: EUR/USD is on a negative trend, with support at 1.1215 in play 

EUR/USD is going through a bearish correction after last week's impulsive rally. The pair broke and confirmed below the ascending channel's bottom, before finding some support at the May 20 low at 1.1215.

Price action is showing a mild recovery, yet with technical indicators well within bearish territory on the 4-hour chart. Upside attempts are likely to be challenged at a previous intraday support in the 1.1285 area and the reverse trendline, now at 1.1315.

Below the mentioned 1.1215 support area, the next targets are 1.1130 (May 16 low) and 1.1065 (May 12 low).

Euro FAQs

The Euro is the currency for the 19 European Union countries that belong to the Eurozone. It is the second most heavily traded currency in the world behind the US Dollar. In 2022, it accounted for 31% of all foreign exchange transactions, with an average daily turnover of over $2.2 trillion a day. EUR/USD is the most heavily traded currency pair in the world, accounting for an estimated 30% off all transactions, followed by EUR/JPY (4%), EUR/GBP (3%) and EUR/AUD (2%).

The European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt, Germany, is the reserve bank for the Eurozone. The ECB sets interest rates and manages monetary policy. The ECB's primary mandate is to maintain price stability, which means either controlling inflation or stimulating growth. Its primary tool is the raising or lowering of interest rates. Relatively high interest rates - or the expectation of higher rates - will usually benefit the Euro and vice versa. The ECB Governing Council makes monetary policy decisions at meetings held eight times a year. Decisions are made by heads of the Eurozone national banks and six permanent members, including the President of the ECB, Christine Lagarde.

Eurozone inflation data, measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), is an important econometric for the Euro. If inflation rises more than expected, especially if above the ECB's 2% target, it obliges the ECB to raise interest rates to bring it back under control. Relatively high interest rates compared to its counterparts will usually benefit the Euro, as it makes the region more attractive as a place for global investors to park their money.

Data releases gauge the health of the economy and can impact on the Euro. Indicators such as GDP, Manufacturing and Services PMIs, employment, and consumer sentiment surveys can all influence the direction of the single currency. A strong economy is good for the Euro. Not only does it attract more foreign investment but it may encourage the ECB to put up interest rates, which will directly strengthen the Euro. Otherwise, if economic data is weak, the Euro is likely to fall. Economic data for the four largest economies in the euro area (Germany, France, Italy and Spain) are especially significant, as they account for 75% of the Eurozone's economy.

Another significant data release for the Euro is the Trade Balance. This indicator measures the difference between what a country earns from its exports and what it spends on imports over a given period. If a country produces highly sought after exports then its currency will gain in value purely from the extra demand created from foreign buyers seeking to purchase these goods. Therefore, a positive net Trade Balance strengthens a currency and vice versa for a negative balance.
