EURUSD fell below parity, more room for further losses?
“Euro tumbled sharply as recession fear rises due to pipeline cut.”
Euro breaches parity against the US dollar, hitting its lowest level since December 2002. According to reports, Russian energy giant Gazprom announced that they will drastically reduce gas supplies to EU due to maintenance. They expect Nord Steam 1 pipeline will cut daily production to 20%, half of the current level of supply. Traders fear that such move would push EU to the brink of recession as energy price is expected to climb.
