The euro fell broadly after ECB President Christine Lagarde on Monday effectively ruled out the rate hike in 2022 that money markets had priced in. She said tightening policy now would choke off the economic recovery.
The euro was already down over 7% against the dollar that year.
Expectations of a later ECB hike than the Fed widen the rate gap in favour of the dollar, which pressures dollar-priced commodities and feed import costs in euro-linked markets.
