European Central Bank

The Euro-Dollar rate swung into the black for the week on Thursday after the European Central Bank (ECB) stayed its policy course while offering a curious potential sop to the hawkish members of its Governing Council, which could risk inciting unhelpful exchange rate pressures if taken further.

The Euro-to-Dollar exchange rate beat a hasty retreat from earlier highs on Wednesday, leading a rout in Eurozone exchange rates that made Europe's unified unit the worst performing major currency for the session ahead of Thursday's policy decision from the European Central Bank (ECB). 

The Euro was carrying its largest weekly loss for nearly three months on Friday after capitulating previously at what were new multi-year highs for the trade-weighted single currency, only now the Euro-to-Dollar rate may need to see a rally by either the Pound or Chinese Yuan if it is to sustain a meaningful recovery. 

The Euro is on course to end the year strengthened by a near-double-digit gain over a depreciated Dollar but will face a cocktail of risks in 2021 and beyond, including a coronavirus that increasingly threatens to foster an already-present euroscepticism at the very heart of the common currency bloc. 

The Euro-Dollar exchange rate cheered on Thursday after the European Central Bank (ECB) carried out a widely anticipated recalibration of its monetary policy settings while saying little about recent gains made by the Euro, indicating that currency strength may no long be such a strongly felt concern at the bank.

The European Central Bank (ECB) will today make decisions on Eurozone interest rates and quantitative easing settings, but they will almost certainly be asked questions about the strengthening Euro.

The Euro exchange rate will be a source of focus for the European Central Bank in its December policy meeting on Thursday, but analysts are saying there is very little Luxembourg can do to combat the single currency's rise.

Euro exchange rates came under pressure after the European Central Bank communicated on Thursday that it was in the process of preparing additional stimulus to aid the Eurozone economy which was said to be facing renewed and significant challenges going into year-end.

Will the European Central Bank's Christine Lagarde "rip up the script today" and deliver the kind of surprise that has the potential to shake Euro exchange rates?

The Euro-Dollar rate remained within arms reach of September highs Tuesday despite a looming European Central Bank event that’s expected to it take aim at the Euro for its recent appreciation, but without a shock and awe stimulus there might be little policymakers can do to put a lid on the currency.

The European Central Bank forms the highlight for the Euro exchange rate complex in the week ahead, with analysts at Barclays saying while policy makers will be comfortable with the recent sideways action in the currency they cannot afford to keep quiet.

Savers could be facing an perpetual ice age of zero interest rates as policymakers covet a return of long-lost inflation pressures, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde hinted on Wednesday. 

The Euro-to-Dollar exchange rate edged higher on Wednesday and is likely to advance further in the months ahead, according to analysts at Westpac, who say the single currency is “not overvalued” yet and that European Central Bank (ECB) concerns about recent gains might be misplaced. 

The Euro-to-Dollar exchange rate beat a further retreat from September 01 highs on Friday after the European Central Bank (ECB) blew hot and cold in its views on currency strength and as a beaten and bruised Pound Sterling exacerbated upward pressure on the trade-weighted single currency, while doing little to constrain EUR/USD.

Europe's single currency was vying for first place in the major currency league table for the week on Friday after the Euro-to-Dollar rate surged when an already-bullish market was further emboldened by a European Central Bank (ECB) that came across as unconcerned about recent Euro strength in its September policy decision.

 HSHSBC ECB will become increasingly uncomfortable with the Euro's strength and could seek to curtail it in the future, creating the conditions for the Pound to hold its recent gains and the U.S. Dollar to make a comeback from its recent multi-year weakness against the single currency.

The Euro came under pressure following comments from a European Central Bank committee member that suggested authorities were starting to become uncomfortable with the single currency's recent appreciation.

The Euro-to-Dollar exchange rate rose to its highest level since April 2018 on Tuesday amid further widespread declines in U.S. exchange rates although lower-than-expected inflation figures have served the market a reminder of what is a growing risk to the outlook for the single currency.

The Euro-to-Dollar rate was volatile on Thursday but the still-intact 2020 rally can edure without the single currency drawing the ire of the European Central Bank (ECB), according to new research from Goldman Sachs, although others see the 1.20 threshold as a bit of a line in the sand for Frankfurt.

The Euro-to-Dollar recovered its footing on Wednesday before attempting the better its earlier highs by the rally is increasingly at risk of being called to a halt by the European Central Bank (ECB) over concerns about economic cost of rising exchange rates.
