EUR/NZD Exchange Rate News: Uncertainty ahead for Eurozone Economy Regarding ECB
The Euro (EUR) has flopped against a majority of its competitors so far today, with losses being witnessed of -0.9% against the Australian Dollar (EUR/AUD), -1% against the New Zealand Dollar (EUR/NZD), -1.3% against the Indian Rupee (EUR/INR) and -2.2% against the South African Rand (EUR/ZAR). The one real advance for the single currency today has been by 1.2% against the Japanese Yen (EUR/JPY), although this has only been caused by the Yen (JPY) bombing on a negative interest rate decision by the Bank of Japan (BoJ).
Euro movement in the future is unlikely to stay in anything resembling a rallying state for long, given that tensions are mounting over further economic stimulus being introduced in March when the European Central Bank (ECB) next makes any policy adjustments.
While the present month has been mixed overall for the Euro, negativity in February is unlikely to banish the currently building concerns regarding ECB tools such as quantitative easing.
