. This marks the first rate cut since 2016 for some rates, following a period of aggressive rate hikes aimed at controlling inflation in the Eurozone.
Impact on EUR and Forex Pairs:
-------------------------------------------
-EUR/USD: The rate cut could weaken the euro as lower rates make EUR-denominated assets less attractive to investors, potentially causing the pair to decline.
- EUR/NZD: Similar to EUR/USD, this rate cut may cause a drop in EUR/NZD, as a lower euro makes it less competitive against currencies like the New Zealand dollar, which may remain relatively strong.
