EUR/USD bias flipped 20 times to weak bearish on October 8, 2026
The euro has been trading around the 1.1200 level as a softer U.S. dollar and retreating U.S. yields are set against renewed pressure from French bond sell-offs and debt concerns. Rising oil prices and bond moves have limited upside attempts at times, offsetting upbeat German data, while traders assess signals from the Fed and ECB.
