Euro sub -procurement
Euro 19 is the currency for the countries of the European Union that belong to Eurozone. This is the second most trading currency in the world behind the US dollar. In 2022, it was responsible for 31% of all forex transactions, with the average daily turnover $ 2.2 trillion more than a day. EUR/USD is the world’s heaviest business currency pair, which is accounting for all transactions estimated from all transactions, followed by EUR/JPY (4%), EUR/GBP (3%) and EUR/AUD (2%).
Frankfurt is the Reserve Bank for European Central Bank (ECB), Eurozone in Germany. The ECB determines interest rates and manages monetary policy. The primary mandate of ECB is to maintain value stability, which means to either control inflation or stimulate growth. Its primary tool is to increase or reduce interest rates. Relatively high interest rates – or compared to high rates – usually will benefit the euro and vice versa. The ECB Governing Council takes the monetary policy decision in the meetings held eight times a year. Decisions are made by Eurozone national banks and heads of six permanent members, including ECB President, Christine Lagard.
Eurozone inflation data, measured by the harmonious index of consumer value (HICP), is an important economical for the euro. If inflation increases more than expected, especially if above 2% target of ECB, it binds the ECB to raise interest rates to bring it under control. Relatively high interest rates will usually benefit the euro than its counterparts, as it makes the region more attractive as a place to park its money for global investors.
The data releases the health of the economy and can affect the euro. Indicators like GDP, manufacturing and services PMI, employment and consumer spirit survey can all affect the direction of single currency. A strong economy is good for the euro. Not only does it attract more foreign investment, but it can also encourage ECB to keep interest rates, which will directly strengthen the euro. Otherwise, if the economic data is weak, the euro is likely to fall. Economic data is particularly important for the four largest economies in the Euro region (Germany, France, Italy and Spain), as they are 75% of the Eurozone economy.
Another important data release for the euro is the business balance. Measure the difference between what this indicator earns from its exports and what spends on imports over a certain period. If a country makes excessive demand after exports, its currency will receive purely value from the additional demand made from foreign buyers to buy these goods. Therefore, a positive pure business balance strengthens a posture and contrast to a negative balance.
