The euro steadied near $1.16 as easing oil prices and geopolitical optimism helped reduce immediate inflation concerns. However, Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel’s remarks highlight that inflation risks remain elevated, keeping the possibility of an April rate hike firmly on the table.

This creates a mixed backdrop. While falling energy prices have led markets to scale back expectations for aggressive tightening, ECB officials continue to warn that risks are building over time. As a result, the euro is holding firm, supported by underlying hawkish signals even as near-term pressures ease.
