Although the Italian central bank announced its balance sheet yesterday and failed to complete the debt reduction ratio, which once affected the euro's decline, the current market is concerned that the Fed's monetary policy may slow down the rate hike. The US president criticized the Fed's monetary policy and may support the euro in the short term. However, the resistance of 1.1485 and 1.1505 is very important. Pay attention to the high resistance of the euro to reverse the downside risk.
