The moderate German Unemployment data for December seems to have weighed on the Euro (EUR). The Unemployment Change showed that the number of unemployed people was reduced to 5K against the market consensus of 20K and 22K prior. However, the seasonally adjusted Unemployment Rate remained consistent at 5.9% as expected.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/currencies\/eurusd\">EUR\/USD pair<\/a> faced challenges due to the risk-off <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/technical-analysis\/sentiment\">market sentiment<\/a>. Market participants lean towards the possibility of policy rate cuts from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/macroeconomics\/central-banks\/ecb\">the European Central Bank (ECB)<\/a> as a measure to prop up the economy. Moreover, ECB policymaker Pablo Hernandez de Cos emphasized on Tuesday that economic data uncertainty remains high and the ECB\u2019s decision to start cutting interest <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/rates-charts\/rates\">rates<\/a> would be data-driven. However, investors seem to have priced in six rate cuts for 2024 from the ECB.<\/p>\n<p>Market participants are reassessing the likelihood of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in the first quarter of 2024, driven by expectations of tepid growth in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/economic-calendar\/united-states\">United States<\/a> (US) economy towards the end of the year. This reassessment has contributed to the strength of the Greenback, with the upbeat US Dollar Index (DXY) maintaining its winning streak near 102.30 by the press time.<\/p>\n<p>The continued gains of the US Dollar are supported by enhanced US Treasury yields. At the time of writing, the 2-year and 10-year yields on US Treasury bonds stand higher at 4.36% and 3.98%, respectively.
