EUR/USD remains on tenterhooks as the Euro’s (EUR) outlook is uncertain due to expectations of a global trade war after Trump’s victory in the US presidential election. In the election campaign, Trump warned that the European bloc would have to pay a big price for not buying enough American exports.
The impact of Trump’s victory is noticeable on European economic leaders. Speaking at the European Union (EU) Summit on Friday, former European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi said, "The sense of urgency today is greater than it was a week ago," Reuters reported.
Domestic problems in the Eurozone’s major members have also weakened the Euro’s appeal. The collapse of the German three-party coalition has come at a time when the economy is going through a rough phase. The nation managed to dodge a technical recession after expanding surprisingly by 0.2% quarterly in Q3, according to data released by the Federal Statistics Office of Germany on October 30. However, political uncertainty could lead to postponement of government spending and investments.
Meanwhile, investors look for fresh cues about the ECB’s likely interest rate action in the December meeting. ECB policymaker and head of Austrian National Bank Robert Holzmann said there is no reason for the central bank to not cut interest rates next month at current point of time, however, the decision will be based on the economic data, which will be available in December.
