Current report
The Euro (EUR) delivered negative performance during the second quarter of 2026 as strength in the USD outweighed support from tighter European monetary policy. The conflict in the Middle East drove energy prices higher, increasing inflation pressures across the Euro area while also raising concerns about the economic impact of higher energy costs on a region that remains a significant net energy importer. In response, the European Central Bank raised its key policy rates by 25 basis points in June. However, concerns over slowing economic growth, combined with significantly higher interest rates in the United States that continued to support the dollar's yield advantage, outweighed the benefits of higher European rates, resulting in Euro weakness against the USD during the quarter.
Current report
The Euro (EUR/USD) continued to strengthen in the second quarter of 2025, despite a series of interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB), but this was largely thanks to tariff-driven USD weakness. The ECB lowered its deposit facility rate by 25 basis points in both April and June, as inflation showed signs of stabilizing and growth remained sluggish. While rate cuts typically weigh on a currency, the Euro proved resilient, supported by expectations that the Federal Reserve will likely also ease policy. In addition, the EU’s proposed increased budget plan and its “ReArm Europe” initiative to increase defense spending, boosted the outlook for its economy vs the US, further supporting the pair.
Current report
The Euro (EUR) generated negative performance year-to-date through the second quarter of 2026 as persistent USD strength outweighed periods of support from European monetary policy. During the first quarter, the Euro initially benefited from a weaker USD but later came under pressure as geopolitical tensions intensified and concerns over energy supply disruptions weighed on investor sentiment. In the second quarter, higher energy prices continued to pose challenges for the Euro area's import-dependent economy, while concerns over the impact of elevated energy costs on growth remained a headwind. Although the European Central Bank raised interest rates by 25 basis points in June in response to rising inflation pressures, U.S. interest rates remained materially higher, preserving the dollar's yield advantage and supporting demand for the currency. As a result, the Euro weakened against the USD over the period, leading to negative year-to-date performance.
Current report
The Euro (EUR/USD) posted strong gains in the first half of 2025, driven by broad USD weakness and relative optimism for the EU’s economy amid expanded defense spending and budget plans. Deteriorating business and consumer sentiment in the US,sparked by tariff volatility and stagflation concerns, significantly pressured the greenback, increasing demand for de-dollarization trades. While the ECB cut interest rates in both April and June, the Euro remained resilient, supported by expectations of potential Fed easing and a relative improvement in Eurozone stability.

Previous report
The euro (EUR) generated modest negative performance for the Fund during the first quarter of 2026 as the currency ultimately depreciated against the U.S. dollar. The euro strengthened early in the quarter as the U.S. dollar fell sharply in January, pushing the pair higher. However, this move reversed later in the quarter as the U.S. dollar recovered in February and March amid heightened geopolitical tensions and a shift toward risk‑off positioning. Europe’s reliance on imported energy added to downward pressure on the euro, as the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz raised concerns around energy supply disruptions and higher prices.
Previous report
The euro saw positive performance in the first quarter of 2025, largely supported by US dollar (USD) weakness. Macroeconomic concerns reignited by President Trump’s shifting global tariff policies and growing stagflation fears dented consumer, investor, as well as business sentiment in the US, leading to a sharp downturn in domestic financial markets. In addition, European currencies have been propped up by major defense and infrastructure spending plans which are expected to boost the region’s growth prospects. More specifically, the European Commission announced the ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030 in March, which enables over €800 billion to strengthen the continent’s defense capabilities.

Previous wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Trust’s net comprehensive income (loss) was, in part, impacted by periods of market volatility associated with evolving global macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, which are considered to be unusual or infrequent events. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, these conditions included heightened geopolitical tensions, ongoing trade and fiscal policy uncertainty, and shifting expectations regarding the pace and timing of monetary policy actions by central banks, including the Federal Reserve. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, contributors to market volatility included concerns surrounding global economic growth, inflation dynamics, and expectations related to potential changes in monetary policy. Although the full and direct impact of these conditions on the Trust’s net comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, cannot be known, it is believed that they have each independently impacted the Closing Spot Rate, the interest rate paid by the Depository, and the global economy and markets generally, including the number of Shares created and redeemed by the Trust.
