EUR/USD depreciates to around 1.0780 in Friday’s Asian session, down 0.20% on the day. 

Future Fed policy decisions are still data-dependent after a 25 bps rate cut on Thursday. 

Trump’s proposals to raise tariffs and rising bets on ECB rate cuts exert some selling pressure on the Euro. 

The EUR/USD pair plunges to near 1.0780 amid the renewed US Dollar (USD) demand on Friday during the Asian trading hours. Also, Donald Trump’s proposals to raise tariffs weigh on the Euro (EUR) against the Greenback. Traders await the advanced US Michigan Consumer Sentiment data for November for fresh impetus, along with the speech from the Federal Reserve (Fed) Michelle Bowman on Friday. 


As widely expected, the US Fed cut its key interest rate by 25 basis points (bps) at its November meeting on Thursday. The US central bank does not want to see any further weakening of the labor market and continues to expect that inflation will sustainably decline to the Fed's 2% target. Therefore, the Fed is expected to lower interest rates further at the next few meetings, but the timing remains uncertain as the Fed will continue assessing data to determine the "pace and destination" of interest rates.


Trump has vowed a 10% tariff on imports from all countries, exerting some selling pressure on the Euro as the European Union has the second-largest trade deficit with the United States globally and is the largest exporter to the US, per JPMorgan.
