Euro drops to 20-year low due to Russian gas cutoff

 


Sterling berada dalam kesulitan dan euro turun menjadi di bawah 99 sen untuk pertama kalinya dalam hampir dua dekade pada hari Senin karena kekhawatiran tentang kenaikan biaya energi dan pertumbuhan ekonomi dibangkitkan oleh penutupan pipa gas utamanya ke Eropa oleh Rusia.

Di perdagangan Asia, euro jatuh ke $0,9880, level terendah sejak 2002, sementara pound menyentuh level terendah baru 2-1/2 tahun di $1,14445 dan bertahan pada rekor terendahnya.

Indeks dolar AS, yang membandingkan dolar dengan sekeranjang enam mata uang yang berbeda, dengan euro memiliki bobot tertinggi, melonjak ke puncak 110,25, menetapkan rekor baru selama dua dekade terakhir.

Meminta kebocoran minyak di turbin, Rusia menunda batas waktu Sabtu untuk pipa Nord Stream untuk mulai membawa minyak. Itu terjadi pada saat yang sama ketika menteri keuangan Kelompok Tujuh mengumumkan batasan harga minyak Rusia.

The pound has also been hurt by worries about rising energy prices. In the event that Liz Truss, the current foreign minister of the United Kingdom, wins the election to be the country's next prime minister, she promised to take immediate action to reduce growing energy prices and boost energy supplies.

The future for natural gas in Europe cannot inspire confidence, which is bad for the euro. Much of it hinges on Putin said Osamu Takashima, chief FX strategist at Citigroup (NYSE:C) Global Markets.

At 140.38 to the dollar, the yen was struggling to hold above a 24-year low. At $0.6780, the risk-averse Australian dollar fell 0.41% and was close to a seven-week low.

According to Vishnu Varathan, head of economics and strategy at Mizuho Bank in Singapore, the first order effect seems to be that the increased geopolitical risk and accompanying adverse global demand shocks would probably be the consequences dominating.


Safe demand for the U.S. dollar will likely be triggered by the adverse demand shocks in a very unfavorable geopolitical environment, and the European currencies will likely be the hardest hit.

Rate increases that are excessive are expected this week. Markets have priced in a probability of almost 80% for a 75 basis point (bp) increase in Europe and a probability of almost 70% for a 50 bp increase in Australia.


One would have thought that the euro would benefit in some way from a hawkish ECB. Instead, Varathan said, "you might have the policy tradeoff and problem biting in.

Harga untuk kenaikan 75 bp bulan ini di AS agak menurun sebagai akibat dari laporan ketenagakerjaan beragam yang dirilis pada hari Jumat, yang berisi beberapa indikasi pelemahan pasar tenaga kerja.

Peningkatan 75 bp kemungkinan sekitar 58%, menurut dana berjangka Fed.

Karena kekhawatiran atas tindakan penguncian COVID-19 di negara itu terus berlanjut, yuan lepas pantai juga turun ke level terendah baru dua tahun di 6,9543 per dolar di tempat lain di Asia.

Ketika negara itu berjuang dengan wabah baru, Shenzhen, pembangkit tenaga listrik teknologi selatan China, mengatakan bahwa mereka akan mulai menerapkan langkah-langkah pembatasan anti-virus berbasis tingkat pada hari Senin. Chengdu juga mengumumkan perluasan pembatasan penguncian.
