  3. The Euro is giving back some gains as traders await clearer signals on US-Iran talks and Federal Reserve monetary policy, with uncertainty capping upside against the Dollar. Mixed drivers elsewhere, including a softer Swiss Franc and oil price moves, are keeping the pair's direction tied to broader risk sentiment and policy expectations.
