EUR/USD touched about 1.1105 on 29 October, its lowest level since May 2025, after the ECB held its deposit rate at 2.50%. The pair recovered near 1% after ECB President Lagarde said a hike had been debated, and traders priced an 84% chance of a December move.
The euro finished October down more than 1%, with French fiscal weakness weighing on sentiment.

After 533 past bearish macro events, Euro (USD per EUR) moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (33% higher; middle half -1.2% to +0.2%), and -0.5% over 20.
