> The euro fell to a one-month low on January 25, 2022, as Russia-West tensions over Ukraine pushed investors toward the dollar. NATO put forces on standby, the US put 8,500 troops on alert, and the rouble strengthened slightly. Credit Suisse attributed most of the dollar's strength to Fed tightening expectations.
