Euro Holds at $1.16 as Middle East Tensions Ease
The euro steadied near $1.16 on growing hopes of de-escalation in the Middle East, after reports that Washington proposed a 15-point peace plan to Tehran following a potential one-month ceasefire. Iran dismissed the claims, stating it was not engaged in negotiations and reiterating its distrust of US diplomacy. Brent crude dipped below $100 a barrel, easing fears of inflation driven by soaring energy costs and leading investors to trim expectations for rate hikes. ECB President Christine Lagarde warned that while the central bank is assessing the economic impact of the conflict, it stands prepared to adjust policy "at any meeting" if the energy price surge risks fueling broader inflation. Markets now price in only two ECB rate increases by year-end, down from earlier forecasts of three.

Euro Dips Below $1.16 on Weak PMI, Middle East Tensions
The euro slipped below $1.16 as investors weighed weaker-than-expected PMI data and ongoing Middle East tensions, raising fears of an energy-driven economic shock. The latest survey revealed Eurozone business activity growth at a ten-month low in March, with costs surging at the fastest pace in over three years due to soaring energy prices and supply chain disruptions from the war. Business confidence collapsed, suffering the sharpest decline since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Adding to the uncertainty, US President Trump delayed strikes on Iran for five days, citing "positive talks", a claim Tehran dismissed as "psychological warfare", though reports suggested indirect negotiations may be underway. With energy prices spiking, markets are doubling down on ECB rate hike expectations, despite the central bank’s recent decision to hold rates while upgrading inflation forecasts and downgrading growth projections amid deepening regional risks.
