Euro Faces Steep Challenges Amid Global Risk Reduction
The European Central Bank finds itself in a difficult position as widespread risk reduction in global markets—intensified since the onset of the Iran conflict—has taken a significant toll on both the euro and the region’s interest-rate landscape. While investors have flocked to the US dollar as a safe haven, strengthening it considerably, the euro has experienced a sharper decline than any other major currency, falling at twice the rate of the British pound. Futures traders, who previously expected no changes in monetary policy this year, are now pricing in potential rate hikes as soon as July. In this environment, central bankers must proceed with exceptional caution. Not long ago, the euro even slipped below key thresholds, highlighting the currency’s vulnerability.

Since almost no one inside the Fed believes that a single 25 basis point rate hike is enough to bring down inflation, a decision to raise rates next week would reflect the judgment that rates were previously set at the wrong level, and a single hike cannot solve the problem. Since the 1990s, the Fed has only had one "one-time" rate hike.
