The EUR/USD is on track for a 1.35% weekly fall, its steepest decline in four months, weighed down by fiscal concerns in France and a hawkish shift by the United States central bank. The single currency traded down 0.05% to $1.1240 during Friday morning sessions. This weekly drop marks the currency's sharpest pullback since mid-May amid mounting political and budgetary pressures in Europe.
