Euro in USD
The euro weakened against the US dollar, trading around $1.03, due to a stronger dollar after President Trump’s announcement of new global tariffs on steel and aluminum. This amplified existing pressure on the euro, stemming from a widening US-Europe interest rate gap. Robust US jobs data supports the Federal Reserve’s decision to maintain interest rates, contrasting sharply with the European Central Bank’s recent rate cut and signals of further easing in March.
Concerns that US tariffs could trigger deflation have intensified expectations of more significant ECB rate cuts, with market projections indicating a potential drop in the deposit rate to 1.89% by December. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz asserted that the EU could retaliate swiftly if the US imposes tariffs on the bloc. EU trade committee head Bernd Lange indicated a willingness to reduce the EU’s 10% vehicle import tax, aligning it closer to the US rate of 2.5%, to avert a trade war.
