The euro weakens as investors choose safe havens. When will the storm end?

Sales on European stock markets and unrest relative to Italian banks overturned the single currency from the recently reached maximum. Earlier, cautious comments by Fed officials about the growth of the global economy, weak data from the US, and the sale on Wall Street supported the euro.However, support was not strong enough, the euro retreated against the backdrop of falling European stocks and the ongoing confrontation on the budget issue between the EU and Rome. Trade disputes between the United States and China, Brexit talks and a Wall Street sale crushed investors in less than a day. The euro fell after earlier reaching a two-week high against the dollar.

Safe currencies take advantage of the situation and add to the price due to growing demand, investors are massively going to the "safe haven". The Japanese yen, the Swiss franc, and the same dollar showed an increase. How the euro will behave in the coming days depends on how long the storm lasts on the stock markets in Europe. This was a surprise for traders, by and large, the euro has every reason to grow. The dollar may be weakened by data on the housing stock, which has already led to a decrease in the yield of ten-year US government bonds. The sector recorded a record decline in the last four years, which means that the rising cost of borrowing is compressing real estate markets.
