The Fed hawkish views are in spotlight.
The Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers’ hawkish views overnight leave the door open. For another 25 basis point (bps) hike by the end of the year, lifting the US Dollar (USD) to a more than two-month high.
Aside from that, expectations that the European Central Bank (ECB) would end its nine-year sequence of rate rises in September damage the common currency and contribute to the negative tone around the EURUSD pair.
EURUSD Technical Outlook
Technically, the negative trend has sent spot prices below the critical 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) for the first time since November 2022.

The EURUSD pair might then seek to break over the 1.0900 round-figure level and challenge the
