EUR/USD Weekly Analysis

Market Overview

🇪🇺🇺🇸 EURUSD — Weekly Analysis (16–20 March 2026)
Opening Price of the Week: ~1.1500–1.1505
The pair enters the week at ten month lows after two consecutive weeks of losses.
Another source reports levels dipping as low as 1.1412, confirming broad downside pressure.

Expected Range: 1.1500–1.1650 (baseline), with risk toward 1.1450 → 1.1400

🔍 1. Fundamental Overview
EURUSD continues to trade under heavy USD dominance, driven primarily by geopolitical risk, elevated energy prices, and delayed Fed easing expectations.

🇺🇸 U.S. Dollar Drivers – Safe Haven + Oil Shock + Fed Expectations
1. Middle East Conflict Supports USD
The U.S. dollar is supported by safe haven demand due to the ongoing conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran. Both Washington and Tehran issued increasingly aggressive rhetoric, raising market anxiety and favoring USD inflows.
2. Rising Oil Prices = Sticky Inflation → Fed Cuts Delayed
• Oil prices have surged due to the war.
• Inflation concerns have pushed expectations for the first Fed rate cut from July → September.
This strengthens USD and deepens pressure on EURUSD.
3. U.S. Macro Data Neutral but USD Still Bid
U.S. macro data was broadly neutral, yet safe haven flows continue overpowering fundamentals.

🇪🇺 Eurozone Drivers – Energy Vulnerability + ECB Meeting Risk
1. Europe Faces Higher Energy Costs
Oil induced inflation fear is particularly damaging to Europe, which remains heavily dependent on energy imports from politically unstable regions.

2. ECB Meeting This Week
ECB must address worsening inflation projections:
• Energy shock is expected to hit the European economy.
• Lagarde may need to clarify whether the ECB is prepared to raise rates if inflation accelerates again.
3. Europe’s Geopolitical Exposure
European countries are attempting independent diplomacy with Iran to reopen Hormuz, highlighting their vulnerability to the crisis.
Net Effect:
EUR remains structurally weaker than USD due to geopolitical proximity and energy sensitivity.
