As the Dollar Slides, the Euro Is Picking Up Speed
The euro has been gaining steam as investors seek new havens during geopolitical turmoil.
The chaotic rollout of President Trump’s tariffs has prompted investors to question long-held assumptions about the safety and stability of the U.S. dollar, which has plunged in value this year. In the hunt for alternatives, many have turned to the euro.

The euro has risen more than 11 percent against the dollar since the start of the year, reaching its highest level in four years, at $1.18. The euro has also gained against other major currencies over that period, including the Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar and South Korean won, suggesting that its strength is more than a reflection of the dollar’s weakness.

Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank, said this moment was an opportunity for the euro to gain global clout.[/quote]
