The euro fell below $1.12 as a global technology-stock sell-off prompted demand for the safe-haven dollar. Investors also assessed the possibility of an ECB rate increase in December, with eurozone inflation reported at 4% in October, a three-year high driven mainly by higher energy costs.
Risk-driven dollar demand pressures EUR/USD, while expectations of tighter ECB policy could partly offset that pressure. Higher energy costs are cited as an inflation driver, but the story gives no direct feed-commodity impact.
