EUR/USD continues to maintain a solid upward trend above the key support level of 1.0400 in the European session on Wednesday, following a strong recovery in the North American session on Tuesday. The pair remains stable as investors assess the new tariff policies of the U.S. to adjust their positions.
Over the past two days, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, and 10% on China, effective from February 1. Trump also threatened to take measures to address the U.S. trade deficit with the European Union, though he has not provided specific details. Earlier this week, Trump stated that he would tackle the issue by "increasing tariffs or requiring the EU to buy more oil and gas from the U.S."
However, these tariff threats appear less aggressive than market expectations, reducing demand for safe-haven U.S. dollars (USD). The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the value of the greenback against six major currencies, is currently trading near its lowest level in two weeks, around 107.90.
EUR/USD is trading steadily near its two-week high of 1.0430 in the European session on Wednesday, after rebounding from a more than two-year low of 1.0175. The pair has recovered strongly, thanks to a positive momentum divergence and price action. However, a bearish divergence signal would be confirmed if EUR/USD breaks above the immediate resistance level at 1.0440.
