# Euro vs US dollar: Long-term uncertainty amid interest differential

> The euro has recovered slightly from a record low of $0.958 in late September to around $1.04, but remains far below its 2021 level. Economists attribute the long depreciation mainly to the wider interest rate gap favouring the dollar, as the Fed raised rates earlier and more sharply than the ECB.

## Why it matters

A persistent interest rate differential favouring the dollar keeps the dollar strong, which pressures US dollar-priced feed commodities for importers in euro-based markets.
