**BREAKING: Euro Surges Past 1.1400 as Weak US Consumer Confidence Hammers Dollar**
The euro is rallying sharply against the dollar Tuesday, trading near 1.1400 and up approximately 0.3% after disappointing US consumer confidence data triggered broad dollar selling. EUR/USD is extending its recovery as the US Dollar Index tumbles toward 101.30, marking a significant retreat for the greenback.
The weaker-than-expected consumer confidence figures are raising fresh concerns about the health of the US economy and dampening sentiment around dollar-denominated assets. Currency traders are responding swiftly to the data miss, with the euro capitalizing on dollar weakness across major pairs. The move represents a continuation of the euro’s recent rebound from lower levels.
Forex desks are repositioning as the dollar’s near-term outlook deteriorates. Brokers report increased euro buying interest, while risk sentiment is shifting as market participants reassess Federal Reserve policy expectations in light of softer economic indicators.
