EUR/USD bias flipped 5 times to neutral on August 21, 2026
The euro rallied to three-month highs as a US Treasury bond-buyback plan pressured the dollar, but it later faded below 1.1700 as the greenback rebounded on higher yields and better-than-expected jobless claims. Sentiment was mixed, with traders initially overlooking hawkish Fed minutes before stabilizing the dollar.
