The EUR/USD pair holds gains on Thursday, but the pair has pulled back from intra-day highs. Investors' concerns about the uncertain outlook for international trade are weighing on risk appetite, although a somewhat softer US Dollar, following the minutes of the last Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting, keeps the pair supported.
The Euro (EUR) met buyers right below 1.1700 on Wednesday, paring some losses and returning to the mid-range of the 1.1700s, as the pair trades at 1.1740 at the time of writing. From a wider perspective, however, the bearish structure from the July 1 highs remains in play.
News reports about the trade negotiations between the European Union (EU) and the US are positive, and markets remain hopeful that the bloc might skip the 10% baseline tariff. US President Donald Trump noted the EU's constructive attitude, and the European trade chief, Maros Sefcovic, affirmed that a trade deal might be announced in the coming days.
In the US, the minutes of the last Fed meeting revealed that most committee members see it appropriate to lower interest rates in the coming months. This, and a strong US 10-year bond auction on Wednesday, contributed to pulling treasury yields down, easing the US Dollar's (USD) bullish momentum.
Earlier on Thursday, German Consumer Price Index (CPI) data confirmed that monthly inflation remained flat in June. In the US, the main attraction on Thursday will be the Weekly Jobless Claims release, which will provide further insight into the health of the US labour market.
