Abstract:For euro investors, geopolitical factors, inflation data, and the European Central Bank's policy direction will determine the market trends over the next few months.
Geopolitical FactorsAfter Ukraine refused to renew the transit agreement, Russian natural gas exports to Europe via Ukraine have been completely halted. The gas transit route through Ukraine has been closed, as the natural gas transport agreement between the two countries has expired. Traders are watching closely whether the reduction in Russian supply, a crucial source for several Central European countries, will lead to faster depletion of reserves.
European Economic DynamicsInflation pressure may once again become a focal point for the eurozone. Spain's HICP inflation rate for December rose to 2.8% year-on-year, exceeding the market expectation of 2.6%, while core inflation also surpassed forecasts, rising from 2.4% in November to 2.6%. Markets expect the HICP inflation data for the eurozone, due on January 7, to show that the year-on-year inflation rate for December will rise from 2.2% in November to 2.4%.
Watch the PMI Data for the EurozoneGreek Central Bank Governor Stournaras recently stated that the ECB's benchmark interest rate is expected to drop to around 2% by the fall of 2025. However, this forecast depends on economic developments and could be affected by “unforeseen factors.” As the eurozone faces economic challenges, investors and economists generally expect the ECB to continue cutting rates before the second half of 2025.
With geopolitical tensions, increased economic pressures, and potential accommodative measures by the European Central Bank, the euro's performance will be influenced by multiple factors. Investors should remain vigilant and monitor how these key economic data and policy changes impact the market.
