EURUSDEUR/USD Interest Rate Differential and Fundamental Outlook for May 2025 Interest Rate Differential The European Central Bank (ECB) has been easing monetary policy, cutting key rates by 25 basis points in April 2025 to a Main Refinancing Operations Rate of 2.4% and Deposit Facility Rate of 2.25%. This marks the sixth consecutive rate cut as inflation in the Eurozone moves toward the ECB’s 2% target. The Federal Reserve (Fed) has kept the federal funds rate steady at 4.50% as of March 2025, with expectations of only two rate cuts during 2025 amid persistent inflation and solid economic growth in the US. This results in a significant interest rate differential favoring the US dollar, with the Fed rate roughly 2 percentage points higher than the ECB’s main rate. Fundamental Data and Events in May 2025 Eurozone Economic Growth: The Eurozone showed better-than-expected growth of 0.4% in Q1 2025, supported by strong domestic demand, but downside risks remain due to trade uncertainties and slowing global demand. Inflation: German headline inflation eased to 2.1% in April, while France’s inflation remained steady at 0.8%. The ECB expects inflation to return to target by year-end, justifying continued easing. US Economy: The US economy contracted unexpectedly by 0.3% annualized in Q1 2025, partly due to import spikes ahead of tariffs. Non-farm payrolls and unemployment data in early May will be closely watched for Fed policy signals. Trade Optimism: Growing optimism about easing US trade tensions with India, Japan, South Korea, and China has supported the US dollar recently, limiting EUR/USD upside. ECB Guidance: The ECB remains data-dependent and cautious, refraining from committing to a fixed rate path amid “exceptional uncertainty,” largely related to trade policies. EUR/USD Directional Bias for May 2025 Factor Impact on EUR/USD ECB rate cuts and easing bias Bearish for EUR Fed’s higher rates and fewer cuts Bullish for USD Eurozone modest growth and easing inflation Mild support for EUR, but limited US economic contraction and trade optimism Mixed; weak US data could support EUR temporarily Trade tensions easing Supports USD strength, weighing on EUR/USD Overall Bias: The interest rate differential and Fed’s relatively hawkish stance favor the US dollar, exerting downward pressure on EUR/USD in May. Despite some positive Eurozone data, the ECB’s easing and trade optimism supporting the dollar suggest EUR/USD will likely trade sideways Summary The Fed’s 4.50% rate vs. ECB’s 2.4% rate creates a strong yield advantage for the US dollar. The ECB’s continued easing cycle contrasts with the Fed’s cautious but higher rate stance. Eurozone growth and inflation are improving but remain fragile amid trade uncertainties. US economic data and trade deal developments in May will be key drivers. EUR/USD is expected to face selling pressure or consolidation around demand floor , with downside risks if US data remains resilient.

EUR/USD – Technical Outlook & Strategic Projection (May 1–17) 📉 EUR/USD – Technical Outlook & Strategic Projection (May 1–17)** Since **April 20th**, the euro has shown a consistent decline in strength against the US dollar, reflecting a sustained bearish sentiment. However, the current market structure suggests a potential **short-term bullish retracement** in the coming days — possibly lasting through the end of this week. This short-lived upside move is likely driven by the market's need to **seek liquidity above recent highs**, particularly near the **Previous Weekly High (PWH)** and the nearby imbalance zone (FVG). From my perspective, this setup may act as a **liquidity sweep** before resuming the broader bearish trend. 📌 **My Outlook:** - A temporary euro recovery may occur as price revisits the 1.14500–1.15688 zone. - Around **May 6th onwards**, I expect bearish continuation as liquidity objectives are fulfilled. - If price confirms rejection from the premium zone, my bearish bias targets the **1.09076** and eventually **1.04172** levels. 🔍 *Conclusion:* While the euro may show short-term strength, this is likely a setup to trap buyers before a deeper decline. I will be monitoring for confirmations of rejection and signs of trend continuation beyond the liquidity grab. 📍Posted by: *Emerson Massawe* *Data & Market Analyst | COO of Rodaviva | Xerof Capital*

Headwinds for EURUSD as trade tension declinesEuro-dollar retreated further on 1 May in thin trading to retest $1.13. Trade wars are less in focus now with the rising possibility of deals between the USA and India, Japan and South Korea among others. Although American advance GDP for the first quarter was disappointing at negative 0.3%, the generally positive reaction by the dollar might suggest positive sentiment and that participants had been expecting a worse result. Flash GDP for the eurozone was better than expected on 30 April. $1.13 remains an important technical reference. A break clearly below there might open the way to $1.11 and possibly lower in the medium term, especially if sentiment and the American job report support. Conversely, a bounce from here would probably mean a retest of the latest highs around $1.156 sooner or later. Overall, euro-dollar’s performance since the end of February has been very strong, so it’d be possible to see the price consolidating for a while before making clear new highs if the uptrend does indeed continue. Apart from 2 May’s NFP, next week’s press conference from the Fed is critical. This is my personal opinion, not the opinion of Exness. This is not a recommendation to trade.

EURUSD Outlook: Head & Shoulder or Bear Trap?Mirroring the DXY, the EURUSD appears to be holding below the neckline of a head and shoulders pattern formed from the 1.1570 highs. However, it still requires confirmation with a sustained move below 1.1270 to extend the forecast toward 1.1140 and 1.1040. On the upside, if the 1.1270 support holds, EURUSD may reverse course, confirming a failed pattern and potentially rebounding toward 1.1420, 1.1470, and 1.1570. From a monthly perspective, the EURUSD is pulling back above the upper boundary of the long-respected channel extending from the 2008 highs, currently holding near the key 1.1270 support. This may signal a short-term trend reset before markets regain directional clarity. Written by: Razan Hilal, CMT

LOOKING FOR LONGS ON EUR/USDEUR/USD 15M - As you can see price has recently traded us down and into a Demand Zone, we have seen plenty of Demand being introduced into the market, which is the reason for the hawkish behaviour. I would now like to see price break structure officially, giving us the confluence to suggest a reversal is taking place, once we have that we can begin looking to take this market long. I have drawn a path out on how I would expect price to play out. Once we have that break its understandable that with every impulse is a correction, price will have to correct back down into something. Should we find an area of Demand for price to set a higher low from, that is where we can look to enter in from with those longer term buy positions, as soon as I have an update I will let you all know.
