# The Euro finally gets cheaper energy, and that is the problem

> EUR/USD traded just under 1.1400 after a third straight session of falling crude, with Brent near $84 and WTI near $79 as the US-Iran stand-down entered its fourth day. Euro-area inflation eased to 2.8% in June, and markets still priced a September ECB hike.

## Why it matters

Falling crude removes an energy-driven inflation driver, which trims biofuel-related support for vegetable oils and softens the energy-linked cost of feed production.
