EUR/USD bias held neutral on August 22, 2026
The Euro is gaining ground as the US Dollar comes under broad pressure, with headlines pointing to Treasury intervention and investor concerns over US fiscal credibility. Adding to the move, the dollar is falling alongside bond yields, while stronger-than-expected Eurozone PMI data reinforces expectations of a hawkish European Central Bank. These combined factors are supporting EURUSD in the current session.
