> EUR/USD traded near 1.1087, its weakest level since May 2025, as the dollar held firm. Fed officials, including Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack, called for further rate hikes to bring inflation down. US initial jobless claims rose to 200K, slightly above forecast, which eased the dollar's gains.
