European Central Bank

Will the European Central Bank's Christine Lagarde "rip up the script today" and deliver the kind of surprise that has the potential to shake Euro exchange rates?

The Euro-Dollar rate remained within arms reach of September highs Tuesday despite a looming European Central Bank event that’s expected to it take aim at the Euro for its recent appreciation, but without a shock and awe stimulus there might be little policymakers can do to put a lid on the currency.

The European Central Bank forms the highlight for the Euro exchange rate complex in the week ahead, with analysts at Barclays saying while policy makers will be comfortable with the recent sideways action in the currency they cannot afford to keep quiet.

Savers could be facing an perpetual ice age of zero interest rates as policymakers covet a return of long-lost inflation pressures, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde hinted on Wednesday. 

The Euro-to-Dollar exchange rate edged higher on Wednesday and is likely to advance further in the months ahead, according to analysts at Westpac, who say the single currency is “not overvalued” yet and that European Central Bank (ECB) concerns about recent gains might be misplaced. 

The Euro-to-Dollar exchange rate beat a further retreat from September 01 highs on Friday after the European Central Bank (ECB) blew hot and cold in its views on currency strength and as a beaten and bruised Pound Sterling exacerbated upward pressure on the trade-weighted single currency, while doing little to constrain EUR/USD.

Europe's single currency was vying for first place in the major currency league table for the week on Friday after the Euro-to-Dollar rate surged when an already-bullish market was further emboldened by a European Central Bank (ECB) that came across as unconcerned about recent Euro strength in its September policy decision.

 HSHSBC ECB will become increasingly uncomfortable with the Euro's strength and could seek to curtail it in the future, creating the conditions for the Pound to hold its recent gains and the U.S. Dollar to make a comeback from its recent multi-year weakness against the single currency.

The Euro came under pressure following comments from a European Central Bank committee member that suggested authorities were starting to become uncomfortable with the single currency's recent appreciation.

The Euro-to-Dollar exchange rate rose to its highest level since April 2018 on Tuesday amid further widespread declines in U.S. exchange rates although lower-than-expected inflation figures have served the market a reminder of what is a growing risk to the outlook for the single currency.

The Euro-to-Dollar rate was volatile on Thursday but the still-intact 2020 rally can edure without the single currency drawing the ire of the European Central Bank (ECB), according to new research from Goldman Sachs, although others see the 1.20 threshold as a bit of a line in the sand for Frankfurt.

The Euro-to-Dollar recovered its footing on Wednesday before attempting the better its earlier highs by the rally is increasingly at risk of being called to a halt by the European Central Bank (ECB) over concerns about economic cost of rising exchange rates. 

The Euro-to-Dollar rate was paring losses on Tuesday after the European Central Bank (ECB) stayed its ultra-accomodative monetary policy course and as greenback softened ahead of the North American open, with global factors seen in the driving seat of the single currency. 

The Euro was sold against the Dollar, Pound and other major currencies in mid-week trade after the European Central Bank (ECB) sounded a distinctly bearish tone on the Eurozone's economic outlook.

The Euro fell during noon trading Wednesday after the European Central Bank (ECB) said the Eurozone economy is likely to have slowed further in New Year and warned that inflation could fall even further than it has already over the coming months.

The Euro is now facing a year of moribund price action that will see January's highs act as a ceiling over the coming quarters, according to the latest forecasts from Danske Bank, after the European Cenral Bank (ECB) effecitively turned off the music and cut the chord on Thursday. 

The Euro dropped temporarily after the European Central Bank announced it would be making billions of Euros available to Eurozone banks at cheap rates to try and reinvigorate lending to the economy.

The Euro will take a cue from the ECB at mid-day today with traders interested in how the Governing Council have interpreted the recent slowdown in Eurozone economic growth.

The Euro was treading water Thursday after French industrial production aggravated earlier concerns about the health of the Eurozone economy, which have led some economists to forecast the European Central Bank will now not get the chance to raise its interest rate in this cycle. 

The Euro was treading water Thursday ahead of the latest European Central Bank (ECB) interest rate decision and monetary policy statement, which could be key to the direction of the single currency into year-end and beyond.
