5月1日,欧元在交易清淡的情况下小幅下跌至1.13美元,此前4月份欧元兑美元汇率上涨了5%以上。随着唐纳德·特朗普总统发出与印度、日本和韩国可能达成协议的信号,以及他对与中国达成协议的信心,人们越来越乐观地认为贸易紧张局势可能会缓解,美元找到了支撑。与此同时,投资者消化了大量最近的经济数据,并展望了周五的美国非农就业报告,以进一步了解美联储的政策前景。2025年第一季度,美国经济意外收缩,年化收缩率为0.3%,部分原因是在特朗普政府征收预期关税之前进口激增。相比之下,在强劲的国内需求的推动下,欧元区经济增长了0.4%,好于预期。在通胀方面,德国4月份的整体通胀率降至2.1%,尽管核心通胀率有所上升,而法国的年通胀率保持在0.8%不变。
The euro edged slightly lower toward $1.13 in thin trading on the first day of May, after gaining more than 5% against the U.S. dollar in April, as the dollar found support amid growing optimism that trade tensions may ease following President Donald Trump's signals of potential agreements with India, Japan, and South Korea, along with his confidence in a deal with China. Meanwhile, investors digested a raft of recent economic data and looked ahead to Friday’s U.S. non-farm payrolls report for further insight into the Fed’s policy outlook. The U.S. economy unexpectedly contracted at an annualized rate of 0.3% in Q1 2025, driven in part by a spike in imports ahead of expected Trump administration tariffs. In contrast, the Eurozone economy grew by a better-than-expected 0.4%, buoyed by strong domestic demand. On the inflation front, German headline inflation eased to 2.1% in April, though core inflation ticked higher, while France’s annual rate remained unchanged at 0.8%.
