EUR/USD is the exchange rate between the euro and the US dollar, showing how many US dollars one euro buys. It is the most heavily traded currency pair in the world.

The pair is driven mainly by the interest-rate differential between the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve, relative inflation and growth, and broad risk sentiment.

Why is EUR/USD so widely traded?

The euro and the US dollar are the world's two largest reserve currencies, so the pair is deeply liquid and central to global trade and capital flows.

Euro (EUR/USD) news & analysis

EUR/USD is the exchange rate between the euro and the US dollar, the most heavily traded currency pair in the world.

Why is EUR/USD up or down today?

The Euro gained ground against the US Dollar as expectations of further Federal Reserve rate hikes faded, putting pressure on the greenback. The pair climbed, though it pulled back from the 50% midpoint target at 1.1585 after hitting that level. The movement is primarily driven by dollar weakness rather than euro-specific strength.
