The U.S. dollar gained in Europe Thursday, climbing to a two-month high on rising fears of a U.S. default as Fitch threatens a rating downgrade. At 02:55 ET (06:55 GMT), the Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six other currencies, rose 0.2% to 103.955, just below the 104.05 overnight peak, the highest level since mid-March. The dollar’s safe haven status has meant that it has benefited from the lack of progress in the talks to lift the U.S. government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, with the early-June deadline that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said is when it’s “highly likely” that her department will run out of money drawing nearer.

Investing.com -- After an April that yielded a yearly high of 1.1095, the EUR/USD has so far had a rough month of May, with the currency pair dropping to a low of 1.0760 on Tuesday and remaining under pressure on Wednesday, a weakness that analysts at Goldman Sachs attempted to explain in a note published last night.
A digital euro could be launched in three or four years but banknotes will be available as long as there is demand for them, Fabio Panetta, a member of the European Central Bank's Executive Board, told Les Echos. To make the digital euro interoperable with other central bank digital currencies, the ECB was working closely with the central banks of the U.S., Britain, Switzerland, Canada, Japan and Sweden.
While talks between both political parties continue over the lifting of the U.S. government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, any progress seems to be hard won and there are few signs of a deal being reached anytime soon. There’s now just over a week before the early-June deadline that U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said is when it’s “highly likely” that her department will run out of sufficient cash to function as normal.

The U.S. dollar gained in early European trade Tuesday, with risk sentiment on the slide as the debt ceiling impasse continued and following hawkish comments from Fed officials. U.S. President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ended discussions late Monday with no agreement on how to raise the U.S. government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen added to the urgency of the situation by stating that it’s now “highly likely” that her department will run out of sufficient cash in early June.
The euro has rallied a bit during the trading session on Monday, as the market continues to see a lot of noisy behavior going forward.
The U.S. dollar edged lower in early European trade Monday amid uncertainty surrounding the U.S. debt ceiling negotiations and after dovish comments from Fed chair Jerome Powell. The dollar received a blow late last week as negotiations over the potential raising of the U.S. debt ceiling, and thus avoiding a very damaging default, suddenly broke down with Republicans walking out of the meeting. U.S. President Joe Biden and House Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy are set to meet later Monday, but compromises will have to be made and thus more brinkmanship is to be expected ahead of early June, when the Treasury is seen running out of money.
The euro initially tried to rally during the course of the trading week but then gave back gains near the 1.0950 level to start selling off again.
The euro bounced during the trading session on Friday as we have seen a bit of a fight in this market.
The U.S. dollar edged lower in early European trade Friday, but remained near a two-month high as strong labor data and optimism that a U.S. debt default can be avoided pointed to the Federal Reserve retaining a tight monetary policy for longer. The dollar index is on course to record gains of just under 1% this week as news of constructive talks to end the current debt ceiling impasse in Washington raised optimism that a deal can be reached, thus avoiding a damaging debt default. This has put the spotlight firmly back on the Federal Reserve and what it will decide over future interest rate moves.
The euro continues to drift lower on Thursday, as the US dollar is getting a bit of a reprieve. Whether or not this is a simple pullback or a change of direction remains to be seen.
Euro zone bond yields rose on Thursday as risk sentiment improved on optimism that the United States could reach a deal to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a default in the world's largest economy. U.S. President Joe Biden and congressional Republican Kevin McCarthy underscored their determination to reach a deal soon to raise the federal government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling. Germany's 10-year government bond yield, the benchmark for the euro zone, rose to its highest since May 2, up 4 basis points (bps) on the day to 2.38%.
The U.S. dollar rose in early European trade Thursday as negotiations to end the debt ceiling standoff in Washington have yet to result in a deal, while more Fed officials are due. President Joe Biden and top U.S. congressional Republican Kevin McCarthy have agreed to negotiate directly over the raising of the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, after a months-long standoff. This has raised optimism that a deal can be reached to avoid a damaging debt default, but a cautious air has tempered risk-taking.
The euro has fallen again during the trading session on Wednesday, as we continue to see a lot of negativity. Because of this, the market is likely to test the 1.08 level, and possibly even drop down to the 200-Day EMA.

The potential for a U.S. default of its debts if a deal is not done to lift the country’s borrowing limit, which Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reiterated could be hit as soon as June 1, has helped the dollar push higher of late, with traders seeking the greenback given it is often used as a safe haven in times of stress. The main parties are expected to meet once more later Tuesday, with President Joe Biden expressing confidence a deal can be done, but Republican House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy said on Monday that the two sides were still far apart. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates last week for a 10th straight time, but hinted that it may be about to pause its aggressive policy tightening as it studies incoming economic data and assesses the impact of the tightening to date.
The euro bounced a bit during the early hours on Monday, to show signs of life. However, the market has seen significant selling in the past.
