TOKYO - The euro was mired near a two-month low on Thursday ahead of a European Central Bank meeting that could signal monetary easing as growth in the currency zone falters.
In Asia, emerging currencies edged lower after North Korea fired two short-range missiles into the sea early on Thursday, diminishing appetite for riskier assets in the region. The dollar found support after U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he would not advocate for a weaker currency. “Don’t expect European bond yields to rise anytime soon. The U.S. is headed toward lower rates, which used to be a supportive factor for the euro, but that is no longer the case.”The euro has fallen 2.0% so far this month on increased speculation the ECB would join other central banks in easing policy as a trade war between the United States and China weakens the global economy.
