EUR/USD bias flipped 10 times to neutral on August 4, 2026
Euro holds above 1.1500 against the dollar as hopes for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and softer US jobs data weigh on the greenback. A collapse in oil prices adds to a generally risk-on tone, while a coordinated JPY intervention shifts the broader FX landscape. These factors are helping underpin the euro for now.
