FAQ euro
The euro is the currency of 19 European Union countries, which belong to the euro area. This is the second most frequently commercial currency in the world behind the American dollar. In 2022, it accounted for 31% of all currency transactions, with an average daily turnover of over USD 2.2 trillion per day. EUR/USD is the most rotating currency pair in the world, which is about a 30%discount on all transactions, followed by EUR/JPy (4%), EUR/GBP (3%) and EUR/AUD (2%).
The European Central Bank (EBC) in Frankfurt, Germany is a bank reserve bank. EBC sets interest rates and manages monetary policy. The main mandate of the ECB is to maintain price stability, which means either controlling inflation or stimulating growth. Its main tool is to escalate or reduce interest rates. Relatively high interest rates – or waiting for higher feet – will usually bring the benefits of the euro and vice versa. The ECB Managing Council makes decisions regarding monetary policy at meetings taking place eight times a year. Decisions are made by the heads of national banks of the euro area and six constant members, including the President of EBC, Christine Lagarde.
Data on inflation in the euro area, measured by a harmonized consumer price indicator (HICP), are an crucial econometric for the euro. If inflation increases more than expected, especially if it is above the target 2% EBC, it obliges EBC to raise interest rates to restore it to control. Relatively high interest rates compared to its counterparts will usually benefit the euro, because it makes the region more attractive as a place for global investors to park their money.
The data release the health of the economy and can affect the euro. Indicators such as GDP, PMI production and services, surveys regarding employment and consumer moods can affect the direction of the common currency. A forceful economy is good for the euro. It not only attracts more foreign investment, but can encourage EBC to set interest rates, which will directly strengthen the euro. Otherwise, if economic data is tender, the euro will probably fall. Economic data for the four largest economies in the euro area (Germany, France, Italy and Spain) are particularly significant because they constitute 75% of the euro area economy.
Another significant issue of data for the euro is the commercial balance. This indicator measures the difference between what the country earns on exports and what spends on imports in a given period. If the country generates a highly sought after export, its currency will gain value only from additional demand created by foreign buyers trying to buy these goods. Therefore, a positive net trade balance strengthens currency and vice versa for a negative balance.
