La baisse de l’euro se poursuit après l’accord commercial entre l’Union européenne et les USA.

Conditions climatiques favorables aux USA.
Pression supplémentaire sur la marché américain avec la décision de l’Argentine de baisser ses taxes à l’exportation de soja.

L’euro baisse face au dollar. Les opérateurs ont pris conscience que les termes de l’accord commercial entre les Etats-Unis et l’Union européenne étaient plus favorables pour Washington et ne devraient guère améliorer les perspectives économiques du bloc.

The dollar rose against the euro as markets were buoyed by a trade agreement between the U.S. and the EU.

Weather forecasts for cooler temperatures and timely rains this week in the U.S. crop belt supported expectations for bumper harvests.
Additional market pressure stemmed from weekend news that Argentina’s government announced a reduction in export taxes on agricultural goods including soybeans and corn.

The euro struggled as investors sobered up to the fact that terms of the trade deal between the U.S. and the European Union favoured the former and hardly lifted the economic outlook of the bloc.
