The euro weakened below $1.14, approaching a one-year low after a 2% decline against the US dollar in June. Investors digested softer-than-expected Eurozone inflation data, with the flash CPI report showing headline inflation falling to 2.8% in June and the core rate dropping to 2.4%, offering some relief to European Central Bank policymakers. At the ECB’s Sintra Forum, ECB President Christine Lagarde noted that risks to inflation and growth in the euro area have become less pronounced. This shift follows the ECB’s decision just three weeks earlier to become the first G7 central bank to raise interest rates after the outbreak of the Iran war, justified by concerns over inflation spreading through the economy. Since then, the US-Iran peace accord has significantly reduced oil prices, removing a key inflation driver. Elsewhere, the dollar remains supported by expectations that the US Federal Reserve will raise interest rates later this year.
