EUR/USD slid to a two-week low, down 0.2% at 1.1566, as options traders increased hedges against further euro weakness. Rising oil and gas prices and higher US Treasury yields are amplifying pressure; options positioning indicators are at their lowest in nearly a month and have been dollar‑bullish for nine consecutive trading days, the longest continuous euro-bearish run since 2017. Renewed US‑Iran tensions have lifted energy prices and worsened Europe’s terms of trade; ING global markets head Chris Turner expects the euro to weaken further to around $1.15 by month‑end amid a firmer Fed stance.
