The euro experienced a positive movement towards $1.05 in early March, recovering from a two-week low of $1.036 which was reached the previous Friday. This upward trend was fueled by emerging optimism surrounding potential increases in defense spending within the Eurozone. Adding to this sentiment, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a collaborative effort between Britain and France to spearhead a “coalition of the willing.” This coalition aims to develop a comprehensive plan, in conjunction with Kyiv and other allies, to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict and establish robust security assurances for Ukraine. Germany is anticipated to play a significant role in bolstering defense expenditure, with reports indicating the potential allocation of new special funds dedicated to defense and infrastructure enhancements.
Investors are now keenly focused on the upcoming European Central Bank (ECB) policy meeting, where expectations are set for a fifth consecutive interest rate cut.
