- Global factors: Market focus stays on global geopolitical developments, especially tensions in the Middle East, affecting risk sentiment and FX flows.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: Improvement in global risk appetite or easing geopolitical tensions could lift EUR/CNY.
- Downside risk: Escalating geopolitical tensions or a shift to risk-off conditions could pressure the pair lower.
