The euro fell against its major counterparts on Friday, as
President Donald Trump proposed tariffs on imports from the
European Union starting on June 1.
Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that the EU has "been
very difficult to deal with" and said trade talks with the bloc are
"going nowhere!"
In a separate post on Truth Social, Trump also threatened to
impose a 25 percent tariff on Apple (AAPL) iPhones that are not
manufactured in the U.S.
Trump's tariff threats raised concerns about slowing economic
growth.
The German economy logged a stronger-than-estimated growth in
the first quarter, detailed report from Destatis revealed.
Gross domestic product registered a quarterly growth of 0.4
percent compared to the previous estimate of 0.2 percent expansion.
This followed a 0.2 percent contraction in the fourth quarter.
The euro fell to more than 4-week lows of 161.08 against the yen
and 0.9293 against the franc, from an early high of 162.75 and a
3-day high of 0.9380, respectively. The next possible support for
the currency is seen around 157.00 against the yen and 0.92 against
the franc.
The euro dropped to a 1-1/2-month low of 0.8380 against the
pound. If the currency falls further, it is likely to test support
around the 0.82 region.
The euro weakened to a 1-week low of 1.5587 against the loonie
and 3-day lows of 1.7482 against the aussie and 1.8969 against the
kiwi. The currency is poised to find support around 1.54 against
the loonie, 1.67 against the aussie and 1.86 against the kiwi.
The euro retreated to 1.1297 against the greenback, from an
early more than 2-week high of 1.1375. The currency may find
support around the 1.10 level.
