EURUSD drops to 1.00 for the first time in 20 years!
USD continues to outperform euro, causing EURUSD to reach parity for the first time since late-2002. Concerns over recession in Europe resulting from a potential complete halt to Russian gas supplies are putting a drag on common currency. On top of that, the slow ECB response to accelerating inflation compared to Fed is adding to pressure. EURUSD finally dropped below 1.00 after a few hours of struggle. A drop was brief and traders may expect the pair to hover in the area for some time.
