EUR/USD Current price: 1.0554
- United States tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China came into effect early on Tuesday.
- The US Dollar sank alongside global stocks amid concerns about US economic future.
- EUR/USD maintains its bullish momentum at fresh 2025 highs.
The EUR/USD pair is trading at its highest since last December, well above the 1.0500 mark amid broad US Dollar (USD) weakness. Financial markets are in risk-off mode, yet the Greenback falls amid speculation United States (US) President Donald Trump tariffs would negatively impact the local economy.
After back-and-forth announcements, fresh levies on Canadian, Mexican and Chinese imports into the US took effect early on Tuesday. Authorities from the affected countries did not take long to respond.
China’s Commerce Ministry announced additional tariffs of up to 15% on US imports of key farm products, including chicken, pork, soy and beef. Canada announced reciprocal tariffs, while Mexico’s response is on the way. As a result, global stocks plummeted alongside the USD.
Government bond yields are also on the move, with yields under pressure. The 10-year Treasury note currently offers 4.13%, down 4 basic points, while the 2-year note offers 3.89%, down 8 bps.
Data-wise, the Eurozone (EU) released the January Unemployment Rate, which matched the December reading with 6.2%, better than the 6.3% expected. The American session will bring minor housing-related figures and a couple of Federal Reserve (Fed) speakers. Still, trade-related headlines are likely to overshadow anything else.
