Summary · why it matters

The European Central Bank decided on the 11th to raise its policy rate by 0.25%. This is the first rate hike in two years and nine months, since September 2023. The euro-dollar pair recovered to 1.2081 dollars in January 2026, and the euro-yen pair was bought up to 187.70 yen on April 15, 2026. However, the Bank of Japan decided at its June monetary policy meeting to raise rates from 0.75% to 1.0%, which could somewhat restrain risk-seeking euro buying and yen selling.
