EUR/USD Steadies as Dollar Stays Subdued Pre-Jackson Hole

EUR/USD found support as the dollar remained subdued following a batch of US economic data that failed to shift the policy narrative decisively. With markets bracing for Jackson Hole, currency traders kept exposure light, leaving the pair to consolidate rather than trend.
The muted dollar reaction suggests investors are reluctant to commit ahead of fresh Fed guidance. This positioning has kept EUR/USD locked in a narrow range, as euro buyers wait for clearer signals on the US rate path before pushing the pair toward higher levels.
Volatility is likely to pick up quickly once Jackson Hole commentary intensifies, and EUR/USD could see sharper moves in either direction as the symposium narrative develops through the week.
