Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust’s FXE saw a notable wave of outflows on January 15, 2026, with investors withdrawing $5.38 million from the euro-tracking fund. The move represents roughly 1.26% of the ETF’s $428.32 million in assets under management, a meaningful but not destabilizing shift that suggests growing caution rather than outright capitulation on the common currency.
The latest redemption comes as the euro continues to struggle for clear direction against the dollar. The related asset, FX:EUR-USD, is currently trading at 1.16243, down a marginal 0.26% over the past three months—a remarkably flat performance in a period marked by shifting rate expectations and mixed economic data on both sides of the Atlantic.
Technically, the tone has turned darker in the very short term: the one-day trading signal on the pair flashes a cautious Sell, aligning with the latest bout of outflows from FXE. While the three-month change in the exchange rate is almost negligible, the ETF flow data suggests that portfolio managers may be trimming euro exposure at the margin, either to lock in earlier gains or to reweight toward the dollar amid lingering macro uncertainty.
FXE’s recent outflows underscore how quickly sentiment can swing in currency markets even when spot prices appear rangebound. For some investors, the modest, grinding weakness in the euro may be enough to justify a tactical retreat from euro-denominated exposure, especially for those who had previously used FXE as a defensive or diversification tool.
