EUR/USD, GBP/USD and AUD/USD drop like a stone amid President Trump 10% tariff on China and 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico.
EUR/USD drops like a stone
EUR/USD's fall from its late January high of $1.0533 has accelerated as President Trump imposed new tariffs of 25% on Mexico and Canada, and 10% on China.
A gap with Friday's low at $1.0350 opened up, with the January low at $1.0178 being within reach. It should act as at least minor support.
The $1.0270 to $1.0350 price gap creates resistance.
