The euro slipped below 1.1150 against the US dollar after stronger-than-expected US core inflation and expectations of further Federal Reserve rate increases. Markets also anticipate possible ECB rate hikes, while upcoming ECB speeches and Eurozone GDP data are in focus.
A wider expected US–eurozone interest-rate differential can weigh on the euro, affecting the cost of imported feed and agricultural commodities priced in dollars for eurozone buyers. This is primarily a currency-market effect rather than a direct change in commodity supply or demand.
After 533 past bearish macro events, Euro (USD per EUR) moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (33% higher; middle half -1.2% to +0.2%), and -0.5% over 20.
