What moved the euro–dollar today (10 Nov 2025)
1) Washington moves toward ending the shutdown
Risk appetite improved after a 60–40 procedural vote in the U.S. Senate to advance a House‑passed bill that would fund the government into late January, a key step toward ending the record shutdown. That tempered safe‑haven dollar demand and supported EUR/USD.
2) Eurozone sentiment softens
The Sentix investor morale index fell to −7.4 in November (from −5.4), below expectations, underscoring a fragile growth backdrop for the euro area. The data limited upside for the euro.
3) Central‑bank backdrop: Fed easing vs ECB on hold
- The Federal Reserve lowered the policy rate to 3.75%–4.00% on 29–30 Oct, while Chair Powell flagged a cautious, data‑dependent path for December. Markets remain split on another 2025 cut.
- By contrast, the ECB kept its deposit rate at 2.00% at the end of October and officials say current settings are “at the right level” barring major deviations — a stance that modestly supports the euro. Reuters+1
4) Dollar tone into the weekend
On Friday the dollar eased as the shutdown delayed official jobs data and private indicators hinted at labor‑market cracks — another mild tailwind for EUR/USD at the margin.

Bias into Thursday: Tactically range‑bound 1.15–1.16 unless U.S. headlines materially shift risk sentiment or we get a pre‑CPI repricing in rates.
The week ahead — catalysts that can move USD/EUR
- Thursday, 13 Nov — U.S. CPI (Oct): A top‑tier risk event. A firm print would lift USD (downside for EUR/USD); a soft print likely weighs on USD and supports EUR/USD. (Release 08:30 ET.)
- Wed/Thu, 12–13 Nov — Euro area industrial production (Sep): Fresh read on the eurozone’s goods sector; upside surprises would aid the euro’s growth narrative.
- ECB speak: Vice‑President de Guindos today reiterated rates are appropriate “barring deviations”; any shift in tone from Governing Council members could nudge rate differentials and EUR/USD. Reuters
- Shutdown resolution timing: A finalized deal (and the return of U.S. data flow) could quickly re‑anchor dollar pricing around incoming macro prints.
Medium‑term forecast — where major desks see EUR/USD
A Reuters FX poll (Oct 31–Nov 5) shows strategists sticking to a mildly bullish euro view: median EUR/USD at $1.18 in three months, $1.20 in six, and $1.21 in 12 months. The stance reflects an assumed continuation of gradual Fed easing vs an ECB on hold, plus an improving global risk backdrop once U.S. data resumes.
Our take:
- Base case (3 months): 1.16–1.20 range, with 1.18 achievable if U.S. disinflation resumes and the Fed retains an easing bias while the ECB stays pat.
- Bullish euro scenario: Swift shutdown resolution + softer U.S. CPI and benign labor data (once published) could open 1.20.
- Bearish euro scenario: Upside surprise in U.S. CPI or a more hawkish Fed tone into December would keep EUR/USD capped below 1.16 and refocus 1.15 / 1.147.
Why USD/EUR (and EUR/USD) matters today
- Policy gap: The Fed has already delivered back‑to‑back cuts (now 3.75%–4.00%) and is debating December; the ECB is on hold at 2.00%, with officials signalling “prudence.” Rate‑differential shifts are the single biggest macro driver for USD/EUR. Reuters+2Reuters+2
- Data vacuum fading: The shutdown has delayed U.S. releases, but CPI is scheduled for Thursday; once the data firehose returns, volatility around USD should pick up.
- Euro area growth pulse: Today’s Sentix miss warns against complacency on eurozone growth — keep an eye on industry data mid‑week.
