The current rise comes with an improvement in investor appetite to buy risky assets after the issuance of US President Donald Trump “made a statement yesterday in which he indicated that he signed the $ 2.3 trillion fiscal stimulus project to support the economy from the repercussions of the Coronavirus.

First, he will interact with the Senate elections in Georgia. If the Republicans win one of the seats, this means that “Mitchconel” will remain the leader of the majority, and as such, this will lead to a great stalemate in Washington and will make it difficult for “Joe Biden” to achieve his agenda, but if he wins Democrats, this may lead to a further stimulus which will also be bullish for the euro in the near term.
Second, the euro will react to the ECB’s moves, in its previous interest rate decisions. The bank expressed its regret about the strength of the euro, but it still lacks support for devaluation.
Finally, the currency will also move depending on market sentiment, so if risk sentiment continues the currency will continue to appreciate, however, there is also the possibility that investors will begin to worry about risks such as global debt inflation.
