EURUSD
The euro fell below $1.068, its lowest in six months, as the European Central Bank raised interest rates for the 10th consecutive time and indicated it would halt its monetary tightening. ECB policymakers said that current borrowing costs have reached a point where, if maintained for a sufficient duration, they would significantly contribute to bringing inflation back to target levels. According to the ECB's economic projections, average inflation in the Euro Area is expected to be 5.6% (vs. 5.4% in the June projection) in 2023, 3.2% (vs. 3.0%) in 2024, and 2.1 % (vs. 2.2%) in 2025.
