July was another volatile month, with the EURUSD falling below parity, hitting a low of 0.9952, according to our chart. It was a month of euro weakness, given the continent’s energy issues and monetary policy challenges. Here are some of the top performing major and minor pairs…

EURAUD -3.18%

EURAUD chart

  • As we said, it was a month of weakness for the euro, given its macroeconomic challenges.
  • The EURAUD tumbled 3.18% in July
  • The ECB raised rates for the first time in 11 years
  • With Australia reporting a lower than forecast inflation rate, could we see a turnaround in the pair?

  • It fell 1.68% in July, touching a low of 1.7207
  • The BoE’s last hike of 25bps disappointed investors somewhat, but there is pressure for a more significant increase on August 4.

  • As you may have noted, the Australian dollar gained some traction during July.
  • The AUDCHF, despite a significant decline in June, has climbed in July, although still nowhere near the previous highs
