# Oliver Mangan: Euro pressured by widening interest rate gap

> Markets have repriced US interest rate expectations sharply higher in the first quarter of 2021, with rates now seen above 2% by 2025. US 10-year Treasury yields rose from about 0.9% to as high as 1.7%. The move is attributed to upgraded US growth prospects from the Biden fiscal package and rapid vaccine rollout.

## Why it matters

Wider US rate differentials pull capital toward dollar assets and weigh on the euro, sterling and other currencies. A firmer dollar can make US commodity exports less competitive abroad.
