Euro Exchange Rate News: Widespread Gains for EUR Follow ECB Confidence
The Euro Australian Dollar exchange rate has climbed to the range of 1.42 today, which comes on a relatively quiet data day for the Eurozone.
The main focus has been on European Central Bank (ECB) speeches, which have come so far from officials Julie Dickson and Yannis Stournaras.
In the former case, Dickson has been ‘hopeful’ that new global banking rules will be agreed upon, while the latter, Stournaras has stated of the ECB that;
‘If there’s more volatility, more uncertainty, more protectionism, we want to be an even stronger pillar of stability’.
Australian Dollar Euro Exchange Rate Weakens even as Iron Ore Costs Remain Bullish
The Australian Dollar Euro exchange rate has fallen today to 0.70. In other pairings, however, demand for the AUD has been high, with considerable gains coming against the Pound and US Dollar.
In the wake of any major domestic data, the Australian Dollar movement has once again focussed on iron ore.
The latest rally has seen prices approach the region of $80 per tonne, with some forecasters predicting a further rise to $90 per tonne.
While China has been phasing out steel production in some areas, other factories still have a high level of demand for the Australian resource, which has seen AUD demand help to curb the extent of EUR AUD gains.
