EUR/USD bias flipped 20 times to neutral on September 17, 2026
The euro has been trading around 1.1450 to below 1.1500 after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in three years in a move described as hawkish. Headlines link pressure on the euro to Fed-related dollar strength and oil, with attention on the FOMC statement and its effect on corporate borrowers. The hike has also drawn political backlash, while one report notes the euro gaining as the post-Fed rally lost momentum.
