EUR/USD hovers around 1.0550 near yearly lows amid cautious Fed, dovish ECB

The EUR/USD pair trades around 1.0550 during Monday’s Asian trading session, hovering near its yearly low of 1.0496, which was reached on November 14. Downside risks for the pair have intensified following cautious comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) officials and stronger-than-expected US Retail Sales data, broadly supporting the US Dollar (USD).

Last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell tempered expectations for imminent rate cuts, emphasizing the economy's resilience, a strong labor market, and persistent inflationary pressures. Powell stated, "The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rates."

The CME FedWatch Tool indicates that markets are pricing in nearly a 60% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Fed at its December meeting.
