  The euro can be used as the counterparty currency for US dollar investment.Due to the high proportion of the euro and the large transaction volume,the euro is the most stable currency among the major non-dollar currencies.If you are a newcomer to the market,the euro is a good choice,you can use the euro as the main operating currency.After all,the euro has been listed for less than ten years,and the historical investment trend is more in line with technical analysis.The trend is stable,the trading volume is large,there are few human factors,and it is not easy to be manipulated by any organization.Only from the perspective of technical analysis,the grasp of the long-term trend of the euro is more effective,and the grasp of the key points,trend lines and patterns is relatively reliable.

  In theory,buying more bonds would lower yields,thereby depressing the value of the euro.If Europe now buys more bonds than before,and the Fed buys the same amount,the euro should fall.The euro has been falling since the February 25 auction of U.S.7-year Treasury bonds underperformed.If Europe picks up the pace of bond purchases and the Federal Open Market Committee(FOMC)continues to buy$80 billion in Treasuries and$40 billion in mortgage-backed securities(MBS)per month,it will cause European bond yields to fall relative to U.S.bonds,thereby pushing down the euro exchange rate.

  Historical trends in the euro exchange rate

  From January 1999 to November 2000,the euro started at 1.183 on the first day after the sale and reached a high of 1.19 at one point.However,after a week of modest gains,it entered a sustained decline.While there have been some fluctuations during this period,there has been a general downward trend.

  The euro fell to lows again in mid-2001,with the euro fluctuating around$0.85.The euro's poor performance seems to indicate that the euro has been in a"dilemma",and by 2001,the US economic bubble burst,corporate financial scandals and the fallout of the 9/11 terrorist attacks plunged the US economy into recession.Economic growth fell to 0.8%in a year and hasn't improved.During the same period,due to the initial progress of economic reform,the total production growth rate of the euro area in 2001 was 1.5%,surpassing the United States for the first time.The slightly better economic situation in the euro area should promote"a stronger euro and a weaker dollar",but the euro still continued the downward inertia of the previous two years,showing an abnormal operation of"strong economy and weak currency".

  In 2002‐2004,with the good news of the circulation of the euro,the euro entered a period of long-term appreciation.On February 1,2002,the exchange rate of the euro rose all the way from the price of 0.856.After a slight correction from February to June,the euro broke through the key 1:1 price in mid-July.Over the next four months,the euro was largely close to parity with the dollar,before breaking through 1.01 and then 1.02,appreciating 20%for the year.

  In 2003,the euro appreciated frequently.On May 23,the price of the euro broke through a historic breakout.Since then,the euro's movement has been rising.It rose to 1.224 on December 9 and was close to 1.26 on December 31.By August 2004,the euro had risen to a record high of 1.392.

  In 2005,the euro showed a clear downward trend.Its exchange rate against the dollar fell from its peak in late 2004 and continues to decline.

  First of all,it is necessary to understand that the political structure of Europe is relatively special,with many interests,opinions and differences,so it is not easy to form a consensus decision.As a result,the EU's ability to influence the euro's exchange rate will also be greatly reduced.Especially when Europe and the US are on exchange rates due to divergent interests,there is no doubt that the US will prevail.During the appreciation of the euro in 2004,the EU could only verbally call on the United States to intervene in the exchange rate,but could not take concrete and effective measures.Therefore,the euro may not be the right investment for most people.

  According to the latest data from the U.S.Commodity Futures Trading Commission(CFTC),net long positions in the euro in speculative accounts have declined for the fourth straight week.Speculators'net speculative long position in the euro fell by 2,694 to 165,943.Despite favorable factors such as the successful EU social bond issuance and the trajectory of the Brexit deal negotiations,the euro has not been able to escape its continued downward trend of net longs.

  The euro was officially launched on January 1,1999.Its internal value has remained stable for more than three years,but its exchange rate has been declining.The general situation of its operation is the deviation of external value from internal value,which is mainly due to people's psychological factors,namely people's distrust of the euro.In the future,the economic development of the euro area will continue to be sluggish,prices will continue to remain stable,the use of euro coins and banknotes will further promote economic and political cooperation between countries,and the value of the euro will become increasingly apparent and gradually accepted by people.
