Recap

On Friday, the euro was one of the strongest currencies, rising 0.5% against both the pound and 0.4% against the US dollar. This happened after reports said the European Union is willing to make some compromises to get the US to remove certain tariffs. If this goes well, the euro could get even stronger.

Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar also went up after Trump called his conversation with Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney “extremely productive.” This made people more hopeful about trade between the two countries.
