About this listen

Two and half decades after the euro launched, is Europe’s single currency finally on the verge of toppling the US dollar?

Few can imagine a financial world which is not dominated by the dollar, but tariff-based trade wars and geopolitical turmoil have got people asking the question – is it time for the euro to play a bigger role? And how do we support clients in such volatile times?

In this episode of This is Deutsche Bank, host Michael Steen puts these questions to George Saravelos, our Global Head of FX Research, and Verena Kruse, our Global Head of FX Liquidity Sales.

01:32 – What is dollar exceptionalism, which factors could impact the euro’s role as a global reserve currency, and how have markets reacted to recent news coming from Germany and Europe.

07:21 – The impact of President Trump’s tariff announcements on the dollar, as well as on other currencies, and what does Europe need to do to tip the balance in the euro’s favour.

16:46 – Working in FX markets: what it is like to work on the trading floor and the size of the market today

20:48 – How Deutsche Bank supports its clients across the world with their currency needs, particularly during times of volatility
