ECB policymakers are reported to have set a threshold for how much euro appreciation they will tolerate given a weak economy. Officials worry that a strong currency reduces exports and pushes down growth and inflation.
The euro had strengthened against the dollar earlier in the year.
A tolerance threshold suggests the ECB may act if the euro keeps rising, which could affect rate differentials and currency flows. For feed buyers, this mainly shapes import costs over time.
After 129 past neutral macro events, Euro (USD per EUR) moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (45% higher; middle half -0.5% to +0.5%), and +0.1% over 20.
