TOKYO - The euro steadied against the dollar on Thursday after renewed worries about a growth slowdown in Germany drove it to a 22-month low overnight, while the yen showed little reaction to a Bank of Japan policy decision.
“The market reaction was barely noticeable,” said Yukio Ishizuki, senior currency strategist at Daiwa Securities. “There were already very few people who believed the Bank of Japan may be raising rates. It wasn’t really about 2020,” he said.
“A big question is if the weakness in Australia and the euro area are temporary or not,” he said. “The main scenario is a recovery in the second half of this year in the euro area and other regions.” The Canadian dollar was a tad stronger at $1.3487, edging off a four-month low hit overnight as investors raised bets on a Bank of Canada interest rate cut this year after the central bank slashed its economic growth outlook.
