The Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust, ticker FXE, closed out the year with notable outflows, shedding $5,427,500 on December 31, 2025. The move, while modest in percentage terms at about 1.28% of its latest $422.88 million in assets under management (AUM), underscores growing unease over the euro’s near-term trajectory against the dollar as investors reassess currency risk heading into 2026.
Such a year-end redemption suggests that some institutional and tactical traders are locking in small FX gains or rotating into higher-yielding dollar assets, rather than signaling a wholesale exit from euro exposure. With FXE still holding over $420 million, the trust remains a core vehicle for investors seeking direct, unlevered access to the euro–dollar pair, but the timing of the outflow highlights sensitivity to even minor shifts in interest-rate expectations on both sides of the Atlantic.
The related asset, FX:EUR-USD, is currently trading at 1.17129, up roughly 0.26% over the past three months—a subdued gain that reflects a fragile balance between hopes for a softer Federal Reserve stance and concerns over Europe’s uneven growth outlook. Despite the latest outflows from FXE, the short-term trading picture remains constructive, with the one-day technical signal flashing Buy, suggesting that near-term momentum still favors the euro.
