EUR/USD Falls Amid Escalating Persian Gulf Conflict and Terms-of-Trade Shock
The EUR/USD pair has been on a decline, falling to 1.1580 on Wednesday, September 2, after slipping to 1.1575 during the early European session.
This marks the lowest level in two weeks and is part of a three-session sequence that indicates controlled distribution rather than panic.
The dollar side is doing all the work, with the Dollar Index trading 0.1% higher near 99.75 on Wednesday, its highest level in over two weeks.
The current decline is driven by safe-haven flows into the dollar from an escalating Persian Gulf conflict and a terms-of-trade shock that hits net energy importers harder than exporters.
