Francesco Pesole, an analyst at ING, has indicated that the euro may face downward pressure unless there are positive developments in the Middle East. According to Jin10, Pesole stated in a report that the euro-to-dollar exchange rate remains at risk of decline in the short term. He noted that the recent rebound of the euro against the dollar on Monday might be short-lived unless there are announcements regarding ceasefire negotiations or NATO's coordinated actions to ensure the safety of the Strait of Hormuz. High oil and gas prices have heightened concerns about the eurozone's reliance on energy imports. Pesole suggested that the euro could potentially fall below 1.1450 this week.
