EUR/USD: Real yields remain a key factor
EUR/USD Trends Amid Energy Market Turbulence
Many experts, ourselves included, anticipated that the EUR/USD exchange rate would decline following the recent energy disruptions in the Middle East. This expectation was largely based on patterns seen in 2022, when Europe's reliance on imported fossil fuels led to a significant deterioration in its terms of trade, while the United States benefited from its energy self-sufficiency.
However, in the current rapidly changing landscape, the impact of central banks' monetary policies can sometimes be underestimated. In fact, the recent shift towards a more aggressive tightening by the European Central Bank compared to the Federal Reserve—reflected in nominal interest rates—may have offered some unexpected support to the euro against the dollar.

What is more concerning is that the demand for AI skills is spreading from tech positions to management roles, and the rise of physical AI could even make human professional skills a new, scalable form of intellectual property.
