About EUR/USD
EUR/USD is the most traded currency pair in the world, accounting for roughly 23% of all daily FX volume according to the BIS Triennial Survey. The pair represents how many US dollars one euro will buy, and is used as the de facto benchmark for the global foreign exchange market. Liquidity peaks during the London-New York session overlap (13:00 to 16:00 UTC), when typical intraday range expands to 60-100 pips on quiet days and several hundred pips around major catalysts. Price action is driven primarily by the policy divergence between the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve, eurozone HICP inflation, US CPI and non-farm payrolls, and the relative trajectory of 2-year and 10-year sovereign yields between Germany and the United States. Risk-on flows generally weaken the dollar against the euro; flight-to-quality episodes reverse the move. Traders also watch the EUR/USD reaction to ECB and Fed press conferences, where the pair frequently sees its largest single-bar moves of the month.
