# Euro retreats below 1.1650 as inflation data buoys US Dollar ahead of Jackson Hole

> EUR/USD fell below 1.1650 on Thursday, extending a reversal from three-month highs above 1.1700. Hot US PCE inflation data boosted the dollar and raised pressure on the Fed to hike. German GfK consumer sentiment improved but did little to support the euro.

## Why it matters

Stronger US inflation and rate-hike bets lift the dollar, which tends to cap US commodity export prices. The move is a macro backdrop rather than a direct supply change.
