12 July 2022 Afternoon Session Analysis
Euro dived, approaching toward parity with dollar.
The Euro, which is traded by the majority of investors across the globe, slumped significantly this morning as investors put a bet on the Euro dollar parity for the first time in 20 years. In fact, the single currency – The euro has been receiving tremendous bearish momentum since the initiation of the Russo-Ukrainian war. Despite Europe did not have the immediacy of involvement in the war, the sanctions initiated by the Eurozone have put themselves on the edge of the hill, where an energy crisis tipped the region into a recession. Back to a few months ago, Russia cut 60% of the natural gas flow to Germany through Nord Stream 1. While the tensions between Ukraine and Russia heightened, the concerns that an energy crisis would happen in the region increased as well. On the other side, the pair of EUR/USD slumped further as the US currency was boosted by the expectations that the Federal Reserve will hike rates faster and further than peers. As of writing, the pair of EUR/USD is down 0.14% to 1.0025.
In the commodities market, the crude oil price was down by 0.56% to $100.30 as the rising of Covid-19 cases in China is expected to derail the recovery path of the nation. Besides, the gold prices dived 0.03% to $1734.40 per troy ounce as the US dollar strengthened.
