EUR/USD Remains Under Sellers’ Control as the Dollar Stays Strong

June 23, 2026

By RoboForex Analytical Department

The EUR/USD pair traded near 1.1430 on Tuesday. The US dollar is refreshing its highs from March 2026, supported by expectations of further monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve, as well as cautious optimism surrounding negotiations between the US and Iran.

An additional factor for the markets was Washington’s decision to grant Tehran a temporary 60-day licence to export oil to global markets. This move strengthened expectations of a gradual recovery in global crude supply and was seen as a sign of progress in talks between the two sides.

The Federal Reserve remains the key focus for investors. After the hawkish signals delivered at the June meeting, markets continue to price in the probability of a rate hike as early as September. Major banks, including Deutsche Bank and Bank of America, have also revised their forecasts in favour of additional monetary policy tightening.

This week’s key event will be the release of the PCE index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge. The report may provide fresh signals about the persistence of price pressure in the US economy and influence expectations for the future path of interest rates.
