> The euro turned negative after ECB President Lagarde said the era of ultra-low inflation is unlikely to return. The dollar index rose 0.4% to 104.88 as investors sought safety amid global stock declines and recession risk. Powell at the same Sintra panel said persistent inflation is the bigger risk.
