Euro falls to 18-month lows versus dollar and pound despite ECB rate hikes
A r/stocks post citing a Euronews article reports that the euro slid this week to its weakest level against the US dollar since mid-May 2025 and against the British pound since early June 2025. The post attributes the move to an energy shock, France's debt crisis and a resurgent US dollar outweighing two ECB interest rate hikes. It states the euro traded at roughly $1.111 on Wednesday before rebounding slightly to around $1.121 in early trading on Thursday.
