# Euro shrugs off weak German data and pares losses amid an improved risk mood

> The euro rose about 0.4% against the dollar as risk appetite improved, despite German September trade data showing a narrower-than-expected surplus. Lower oil prices and continued diplomatic efforts to end the US-Iran war supported sentiment, while stronger-than-expected US jobs data could limit further dollar weakness.

## Why it matters

A softer dollar makes dollar-priced feed commodities relatively more expensive for euro-area buyers, while lower oil prices can ease energy and freight costs. The currency move may therefore offset some of the relief from cheaper energy.
