EUR/USD ticks higher but is broadly sideways around 1.0300 in Tuesday's European trading session as investors await the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell's testimony before Congress at 15:00 GMT.
Investors will pay close attention to Powell's comments to know for how long the Fed will keep interest rates steady in the range of 4.25%-4.50% and the likely impact of 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports on the monetary policy outlook.
In January, the Fed left interest rates unchanged and Powell said that the central bank will remain in the waiting mode until it sees "real progress in inflation or at least some weakness in labor market".
On Monday, United States (US) President Donald Trump signed executive orders of a 25% levy on imports of steel and aluminum from all nations, which will come into effect on March 12. Trump also said that there will be reciprocal tariffs over nations where he sees unfair trade practices in the coming days.
The US President has outlined tariffs on metals to boost local production and reduce dependence on other nations.
