Forex Analysis & Reviews: EUR/USD Overview. September 10. How Does Trump Affect the Dollar? Globally



The EUR/USD currency pair traded relatively quietly throughout Tuesday—at least until the publication of the annual Nonfarm Payrolls report. However, as we've said many times, one report (no matter what it is) cannot reverse the trend or instantly change trader sentiment. That's why in our fundamental articles, we won't even discuss the NonFarm Payrolls report; we'll cover it in the "Trading Recommendations" section. After a three-week pause, the US dollar is falling again. As we warned several times over these last three weeks, the dollar had—and still has—no factors for growth. If anything, quite the opposite. In these three weeks, enough news arrived essentially "instructing" the market to keep dumping the US currency. This includes failed macroeconomic statistics in the US, Donald Trump's "firing" of Lisa Cook, and the raising of tariffs against India in retaliation for their refusal to stop buying Russian oil, gas, and arms. As we can see, the trade war is only escalating, with Trump now using tariffs as leverage against certain countries to achieve his own geopolitical goals, while still demanding the Fed cut rates. Therefore, all the factors that pushed the dollar down in the first 7–8 months of 2025 remain in force. But beyond those, there are new ones as well. For example, starting in September, the gap between ECB and Fed rates will begin to narrow—and we expect it to narrow quickly. In theory, the euro shouldn't have risen so much in the first half of the year, since the ECB was cutting rates that whole time. Imagine how powerful Trump's impact on the dollar was, that even as the ECB was easing, the euro still rose! In the second half, the Fed will be the one cutting rates. So what should we expect from the dollar if it fell even when the Fed kept hawkish policy settings?

Forex Analysis & Reviews: Trading Recommendations and Trade Analysis for EUR/USD on September 11 – The Market Has Lost Direction and Common Sense

EUR/USD 5-Minute Analysis



The EUR/USD pair posted completely illogical moves on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Tuesday, following the release of the annual NonFarm Payrolls report (which, unsurprisingly, disappointed), the US dollar rose. Then on Wednesday, when the dollar had every chance to fall again, there was no decline in the US currency—even though the Producer Price Index showed a drop of 0.1%. Historically, the PPI figure is usually around 0.2–0.3%. The slowdown could indicate simply a correction after the previous month's surge (when prices rose by 0.9%), as well as the minimal impact of Donald Trump's tariffs on inflation. However, low inflation still (potentially) implies an even more dovish attitude from the Fed at next week's meeting. Tomorrow brings the ECB meeting, but traders shouldn't expect much. The ECB has effectively ended its rate-cutting cycle, having achieved its target inflation level. Given that global trade wars may slightly accelerate inflation in the near term, even within the EU, the central bank is unlikely to cut rates or signal a decrease soon. Again, this works in the euro's favor. Thus, we continue to expect only further growth from the single currency. On the 5M timeframe, there was a total flat market and low volatility yesterday. There was no sense in trading, even though traders might have tried to trade the initial signals near the critical line. But by the US session, it became clear that there would be no real moves or solid signals.

EUR/USD 1-Hour Analysis



On the hourly chart, EUR/USD took the first step toward forming a new upward trend, but the market has been in a sideways flat for several weeks since. Formally, we now see a new upward trend developing, as shown by the trendline. However, the pair still spends most of its time in the 1.1615–1.1750 range. There are still plenty of negative factors for the dollar, and even this week, it could have fallen practically every day. For September 11, we highlight the following levels for trading: 1.1092, 1.1147, 1.1185, 1.1234, 1.1274, 1.1362, 1.1426, 1.1534, 1.1604–1.1615, 1.1666, 1.1750–1.1760, 1.1846–1.1857, as well as the Senkou Span B (1.1660) and Kijun-sen (1.1706) Ichimoku lines. The Ichimoku indicator lines can move intraday, which should be considered when identifying signals. Don't forget to move the Stop Loss to breakeven if the price moves 15 pips in the right direction to avoid potential losses in case of a false signal. On Thursday, the ECB decision will be announced in the EU, and the US will publish inflation data. Neither is expected to produce any shockwaves. Current inflation is already unlikely to influence the Fed's September 17 rate decision. Trading Recommendations On Thursday, the price may finally resume its upward movement, in line with the current trend, fundamentals, and macroeconomic background. Decline is possible only if the ECB maintains a dovish tone or if US inflation is low.

Forex Analysis & Reviews: EUR/USD Overview. September 12. The ECB Failed to Surprise Traders



The EUR/USD currency pair traded very calmly during most of Thursday—at least, up until the US inflation report came out, which is now much more important than the ECB meeting. But more on that later. Let's remember that volatility has noticeably declined over the last one and a half to two months, which, perhaps not coincidentally, matches the period when there's been no trending movement in the market. So, the market has effectively taken a pause and seems in no hurry to end it. From our point of view, the US dollar still has plenty of fundamental reasons to keep falling—reasons we discuss constantly. Any strengthening of the dollar should be viewed as a normal correction; any US dollar decline is entirely logical. Yesterday, the European Central Bank left all three key rates unchanged for the second time in a row, which surprised absolutely no one. The ECB has achieved its goal of stabilizing inflation around 2%. And since Donald Trump is not the president of the European Union, there's no need to worry about runaway or unexpected price growth. In America, Donald Trump ignores rising inflation. He doesn't seem to care how much consumer prices are rising. After all, American consumers will pay for all the import tariffs, not China or India. If Americans are willing to pay more for all imported goods in silence, then they'll also have to put up with inflation. Meanwhile, for public opinion and headlines, Trump will lower some taxes, primarily benefiting the wealthy. In the Eurozone, the situation is totally different. The ECB consistently worked toward its 2% inflation goal and achieved it. At that point, the ECB's key interest rate was down to 2.15%, and the deposit rate to 2%. Since inflation isn't decreasing further, no additional monetary easing is needed. So, the ECB's rate decision came as no surprise.

Forex Analysis & Reviews: Donald Trump Prepares New Tariffs



In recent weeks, the market has entered a state of relative calm. This is clearly reflected in the US dollar, which, despite everything, is in no hurry to keep declining. I can't say we're seeing a classic sideways trend or a change in the wave pattern, but market activity has dropped, price swings are small, and there is no mass dollar selloff as before. This could be explained by the uncertainty over what to expect from the FOMC over a one-year horizon (due to the complicated situation involving Donald Trump), and because the US president hasn't recently announced or implemented new tariffs. Trump's attention is now entirely focused on trying to stop the conflict in Ukraine. The White House leader still wants to be the world's chief peacemaker and is putting all his effort into ending the war. Unfortunately, Trump's idea of "effort" means threats, blackmail, and tariffs—not actual compromise or solutions satisfying both sides. This week, Trump announced his readiness to introduce sweeping new tariffs against India and China in response to their purchases of energy from Russia. According to Trump, these measures will push Russian President Vladimir Putin toward negotiations. After the memorable (some say historic) Putin-Trump meeting in Alaska, talks stalled—and there's been no real progress. As I've written before, the problem may not be so much Trump as it is the stances of Kyiv and Moscow. A lot of diverse information emerges about each side's conditions for resolution. Sometimes, two politicians from the same side voice completely different demands or hint at varied compromises at the talks. Overall, the situation seems as follows. Russia wants Ukraine to withdraw troops from territories not even occupied yet, demands demilitarization, "denazification," a change of government in Kyiv, a reduction of the Ukrainian army, and guarantees that Ukraine won't join NATO.

Kyiv wants to keep its current military strength, asks for international security guarantees, wants to join the EU, and, at best, is willing to freeze the conflict along the current front line but refuses to recognize all occupied territories as Russian. As you can see, the sides are worlds apart in their requirements, and not even Trump can bridge such a gap.
