The EU-US trade framework 'deal' has been met with mixed responses. A couple of analyst comments (this via Reuters):Ray Attrill, head of FX research at NationalAustralia Bank"It hasn't taken long for markets to conclude that thisrelatively good news is still, in absolute terms, bad news asfar as the near term implications for euro zone growth areconcerned""The deal has been roundly condemned by France while others- including German Chancellor Merz, are playing up the negativeconsequences for exporters, and with that, economic growth."Thierry Wizman, global FX and rates strategist atMacquarie Group"While the U.S. dollar's strength... may reflect theperception that the new U.S.-EU deal is lopsided in favour ofthe U.S., the U.S. dollar's strength may also reflect a feelingthat the U.S. is re-engaging with the EU and with its majorallies,"Seems to be a bit of both in play. The argument in favour of US dollar strength is the more broad USD rise right across tha majors' board. Its not only about a lower EUR.
