euro

A falling dollar is a sign that the greenback might be losing its luster as a safe haven in turbulent times. But its decline also affects the rest of the world — other countries’ currencies have been rising in value.
The euro hit $1.20 earlier this week, the highest it’s been relative to the dollar since 2021.
But when a currency gets too strong, exports from a region can get too expensive, said Ricardo Amaro, a lead economist at Oxford Economics.
“Currency appreciation makes the exports of that region more expensive,” Amaro said. “(When the euro’s value rises) European producers that sell in the U.S. will find their products suddenly more expensive there.”
And when exports get too expensive, sales slow down. Amaro said Europe’s economy has already been struggling.
“Growth has been relatively sluggish in recent years,” he said. “It’s expected to pick up some momentum this year, but still in a relatively slow pace of growth.”
A strong euro poses a particular challenge for Germany, the biggest economy within the Eurozone.
It relies heavily on exports, said Zachary Griffiths, senior strategist at the research company CreditSights.
“The export-to-GDP ratio for Germany is around 47-50%,” Griffiths said. “That’s certainly very substantial, relative to, say, the United States, which is only about 10-15%.”
The euro’s been appreciating while Germany is in the middle of pushing through a big stimulus package meant to bolster defense in the region and grow its economy from within.
Griffiths said a strong euro pushes against those efforts.
“Because you have that external factor that could weigh on the competitiveness of exports,” he said. “So that leaves more of a job to be done, kind of internally, with something like the fiscal spending package.”
The strengthening euro could also affect what the European Central Bank decides to do with its interest rates.

BREAKING News $BTC :
U.S. President Donald Trump has reversed his threat to impose punitive tariffs on several European countries. After a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump announced that tariffs scheduled to take effect soon have been canceled following a framework agreement focused on Arctic security and Greenland.

According to reports, Trump said he would not move forward with the tariff plan and instead reached the outlines of a deal with NATO regarding Greenland’s future — a major pivot from earlier pressure tactics.

However, leaders from Denmark and Greenland maintained that their sovereignty is non-negotiable, and details of the framework remain vague.

European officials also stressed that while tensions eased, transatlantic relations have taken a hit, with continued calls for respect of territorial integrity and coordinated Arctic defense.

Alexander Stubb just delivered one of the most direct messages Europe has heard in years:
👉 Europe can defend itself without the United States.
Bold. Calculated. And very deliberate.
⚡ Why his words matter now
At a moment when global alliances feel less predictable, Stubb’s statement cuts through the noise. Europe, he argues, already has everything it needs — population, economic power, technology, and military capacity — if it chooses to fully activate them.
This wasn’t a throwaway line. It was a signal.
🧭 What he’s really saying
This is not about pushing the 🇺🇸 United States away.
It’s about 🇪🇺 Europe growing up strategically.
Europe cannot rely forever on Washington’s political stability, election cycles, or shifting priorities. Strategic adulthood means having a backup plan — and eventually, a primary one.
🔍 The reality behind the message
💰 Europe already spends hundreds of billions annually on defense
🛡️ European members of NATO field modern armies and advanced weapons
🇺🇦 The Russia-Ukraine War forced Europe to rearm faster than anyone expected
🗳️ U.S. politics are unpredictable — Europe wants insurance, not dependence
🧠 The core takeaway
Alliances are powerful. Self-reliance is smarter.
Stubb isn’t calling for separation — he’s calling for balance.
🌍 Why this shifts global power
If Europe truly commits to defense autonomy:
Its negotiating power increases
Deterrence becomes stronger and more credible
Strategic shocks become less likely
A stronger Europe doesn’t weaken alliances — it stabilizes them.
👀 How to read this correctly
✅ Don’t react to headlines alone
✅ Watch defense budgets, not speeches
✅ Track NATO deployments, not just EU press releases
👉 Follow for clear, human explanations of global power shifts
🔍 Always do your own research — geopolitics is never black and white
