Euro Surges to 15-Year High Against Yen, Five-Week Peak Versus Dollar as ECB Raises Rates

The euro reached a 15-year high against the yen and a five-week high against the dollar following the European Central Bank’s (ECB) decision to raise interest rates for the eighth consecutive time. The ECB’s move, which lifted rates by 25 basis points to 3.5%, was in line with expectations and aimed at bringing eurozone inflation to its medium-term target of 2%.

ECB President Christine Lagarde stated that another rate hike in July is highly likely, signaling the central bank’s commitment to tighter monetary policy. The euro’s surge was also supported by upward revisions to inflation forecasts for this year and next.

Yen Weakens as Bank of Japan Maintains Dovish Stance and Soft Data Impacts Dollar

The yen experienced a decline after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) decided to maintain its ultra-low interest rates. Besides, according to Forex technical analysis, forecasted a slowdown in inflation later in the year. The BOJ’s dovish stance diverges from the hawkish policies adopted by central banks worldwide.

Meanwhile, the US dollar faced soft economic data, including stagnant retail sales and unchanged jobless claims. These factors contributed to a decline in the dollar against its major counterparts.

The US dollar rate is consolidating after suffering significant losses against major currencies. Investors are closely watching for comments from Federal Reserve officials, as well as the release of the preliminary University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Survey for June.
