The euro's slide is deepening because the energy crisis is severe, and more aggressive ECB tightening is expected to do little to stop it. The euro fell below $0.99 for the first time since 2002 after Russia halted gas supplies through the main pipeline to Europe, and the currency is down 13% in 2022.
