Increased European defense spending and a ceasefire probability of a ceasefire in Ukraine is positive for Euro, said Juan Perez, director of Trading at MonX USA. “Adding the ceasefire, even if it is just for a month, and the idea that can actually be something solid between Russia and Ukraine, is an excellent signal for the euro.”
