The University of Michigan (UoM) showed on Friday that the preliminary Consumer Sentiment Index came in significantly lower at 50.8 in April, the lowest level seen since June 2022.

The Asian giant retaliated after US President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%.

The European Central Bank (ECB) is scheduled to announce its interest rate decision on Thursday, and it is expected to cut its Deposit Facility Rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 2.25%. This would be the seventh 25 bps interest rate reduction by the ECB since June.<\/span><\/li>\n<li value=\"2\" class=\"\"><span>Traders have become increasingly confident that the ECB will cut interest rates again amid expectations that the Trump-driven trade war will not be inflationary for the Eurozone. Investors expect that the escalating tariff war between the US and China would force the latter to export its products to the old continent. Eurozone importers would prefer Chinese products over domestically produced goods, given China\u2019s low-cost competitive advantage.

It is the second most heavily traded currency in the world behind the US Dollar. In 2022, it accounted for 31% of all foreign exchange transactions, with an average daily turnover of over $2.2 trillion a day.<br \/>\nEUR\/USD is the most heavily traded currency pair in the world, accounting for an estimated 30% off all transactions, followed by EUR\/JPY (4%), EUR\/GBP (3%) and EUR\/AUD (2%).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>                <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"accordion1\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">The European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt, Germany, is the reserve bank for the Eurozone. The ECB sets interest rates and manages monetary policy.<br \/>\nThe ECB\u2019s primary mandate is to maintain price stability, which means either controlling inflation or stimulating growth. Its primary tool is the raising or lowering of interest rates. Relatively high interest rates \u2013 or the expectation of higher rates \u2013 will usually benefit the Euro and vice versa.<br \/>\nThe ECB Governing Council makes monetary policy decisions at meetings held eight times a year. Decisions are made by heads of the Eurozone national banks and six permanent members, including the President of the ECB, Christine Lagarde.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>                <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"accordion2\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">Eurozone inflation data, measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), is an important econometric for the Euro. If inflation rises more than expected, especially if above the ECB\u2019s 2% target, it obliges the ECB to raise interest rates to bring it back under control.<br \/>\nRelatively high interest rates compared to its counterparts will usually benefit the Euro, as it makes the region more attractive as a place for global investors to park their money.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>                <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"accordion3\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">Data releases gauge the health of the economy and can impact on the Euro. Indicators such as GDP, Manufacturing and Services PMIs, employment, and consumer sentiment surveys can all influence the direction of the single currency.<br \/>\nA strong economy is good for the Euro. Not only does it attract more foreign investment but it may encourage the ECB to put up interest rates, which will directly strengthen the Euro. Otherwise, if economic data is weak, the Euro is likely to fall.<br \/>\nEconomic data for the four largest economies in the euro area (Germany, France, Italy and Spain) are especially significant, as they account for 75% of the Eurozone\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>                <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"accordion4\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">Another significant data release for the Euro is the Trade Balance. This indicator measures the difference between what a country earns from its exports and what it spends on imports over a given period.<br \/>\nIf a country produces highly sought after exports then its currency will gain in value purely from the extra demand created from foreign buyers seeking to purchase these goods. Therefore, a positive net Trade Balance strengthens a currency and vice versa for a negative balance.<\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>,<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EUR\/USD climbs to near 1.1400 as the US Dollar faces an intense sell-off amid an escalating US-China trade war.
