Current report

The euro (EUR/USD) ended 2024 lower pressured heavily by US dollar strength in the fourth quarter. In the first quarter, the pair fell on the Fed’s higher-for-longer rhetoric and stickier-than-expected US inflation, which repeatedly pushed out expectations for US rate cuts. In comparison, the European Central Bank (ECB) was more dovish given its noticeably weaker economy, officially kicking off its easing cycle in June. However, the greenback turned sharply lower in the third quarter after the Fed officially kicked off its own easing cycle, the Bank of Japan surprised markets with a rate hike, and concerns about the impact of the US election grew, allowing the pair to move back into positive territory. Those gains were short-lived though, as Trump-driven US dollar strength in the fourth quarter dealt a heavy blow. Many of the president’s campaigned policies were expected to raise inflation risk, potentially leading to higher rates in 2025. In addition, tariffs generally weigh on foreign currencies, further boosting the USD.

Previous report

While the Euro (EUR/USD) posted a negative annual performance in 2022, it did make a strong comeback to end the year. Heightened geopolitical tensions in the first quarter and rising recession fears in the second and third quarter boosted investor demand for safe haven currencies like the US dollar, while simultaneously weighing on its European counterparts. Furthermore, higher interest rates boost demand for the country’s currency (in this case, boosting the USD). The deepening energy crisis in Europe, following the announcement of its upcoming ban of Russian oil and refined products in the second quarter, and then the indefinite halt of Russian gas pipeline flows in the third quarter, also raised probabilities for a regional recession. However, the EUR appreciated in the fourth quarter as the dollar retreated on expectations for a dovish U.S. Federal Reserve System (the “Fed”) pivot.

Previous wording

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Trust's net comprehensive income (loss) was, in part, impacted by market volatility resulting from the US banking sector turmoil, ambiguity around the Federal Reserve's tightening cycle, and rising geopolitical concerns from the conflict in the Middle East, for 2023, and uncertainty caused by the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, as well as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, for 2022, which are considered to be unusual or infrequent events.
