Euro Slips as US Inflation Data Supports Dollar Recovery

The EUR/USD price action has taken a hit after the release of the U.S. PCE inflation report, leading to a decline of approximately 0.2% in favor of the U.S. dollar.

The report showed that July's Headline PCE increased by 0.2% month-over-month, exceeding market expectations of 0.1%, while the annual reading stood near 3.7%. The Core PCE remained in line with expectations at 3.3%, indicating relatively stable inflationary pressures over recent months.

The combination of these factors has supported a modest recovery in the U.S. dollar, making it more difficult for the euro to regain ground consistently in the short term.
