EUROPEAN ECONOMY REMAINS UNDER THREAT OF RECESSION AS RUSSIAN NATURAL GAS FLOWS FROM NORD STREAM 1 WERE CUT DOWN TO 0.00%. Nord Stream 1 flows were responsible for around 40% of total Russian flows to Europe. In addition, the markets fear that Russia could soon consider cutting flows via other channels, like Ukraine, to Europe. Recent economic data in Europe and Germany, in particular, has shown that the EU economy continued to fall and reduced natural gas flows from Russia to Germany could exacerbate this situation as Russia provided German with 55% of their needs last year. Without the Russian gas, the German economy could soon enter a recession, which is negative for the Euro currency.

US- EUROPE INTEREST RATES DIFFERENTIALS IN FAVOUR OF THE US DOLLAR: The interest rates (FED) in the US have gone up recently to 2.5%, while the benchmark interest rate in Europe has gone up to 1.25%. The difference between the two remains 1.25% points in favor of the US dollar, which makes the US dollar more attractive than the Euro. This could be another reason why the US dollar could continue strengthening against the Euro.
