German Bank: The European Central Bank cannot prevent the further appreciation of the Euro/US Dollar.

German commercial bank foreign exchange analyst Thu Lan Nguyen stated in a report that even with a significant interest rate cut by the European Central Bank, the euro may still continue to rise against the US dollar. She mentioned that the recent appreciation of the euro is mainly due to the US policies that are undermining the dollar. Nguyen said, "To what extent the euro will rise against the dollar largely depends on what solutions the White House can come up with." She mentioned that the European Central Bank has no influence over these external factors, and therefore cannot prevent a significant increase in the euro exchange rate. The German commercial bank predicts that the euro/dollar will rise to 1.20 by December 2025 and to 1.25 by September 2026.
