Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust’s FXE recorded a significant outflow of $5.42 million on December 18, 2025, underscoring renewed caution toward the euro amid a firm U.S. dollar. The redemption represents roughly 1.25% of the fund’s $432.96 million in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful single-day shift for a currency-focused ETF that typically attracts strategic rather than speculative flows.
The move suggests that some investors are trimming euro exposure or locking in positions after a period of relative stability. While the outflow is not large enough to signal a wholesale exodus, it does point to a recalibration of FX risk as markets reassess central bank trajectories and macro data on both sides of the Atlantic.
The related asset, FX:EUR-USD, is currently trading at 1.17128, down about 0.76% over the past three months. Despite that modest slide, the short-term picture is more constructive, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Buy. This technical backdrop hints that, even as ETF investors pull back, traders may be positioning for a near-term rebound in the euro or at least a pause in dollar strength.
For FXE holders, the divergence between fund flows and short-term technicals on EUR-USD highlights a familiar tension: strategic asset allocators are leaning defensive on the euro, while tactical traders see scope for a bounce. How that dynamic resolves in the coming weeks will likely depend on incoming inflation data, rate-cut expectations, and any surprise shifts in European or U.S. growth momentum.
