Euro price today
The table below shows the percentage change of Euro (EUR) against listed major currencies today. Euro was the strongest against the US Dollar.
| USD | EUR | GBP | CAD | AUD | JPY | NZD | CHF | |
| USD | -0.29% | -0.26% | -0.14% | -0.49% | -0.47% | -0.56% | -0.32% | |
| EUR | 0.29% | 0.02% | 0.15% | -0.19% | -0.18% | -0.26% | -0.03% | |
| GBP | 0.26% | -0.02% | 0.12% | -0.23% | -0.21% | -0.29% | -0.06% | |
| CAD | 0.14% | -0.14% | -0.12% | -0.34% | -0.34% | -0.42% | -0.18% | |
| AUD | 0.48% | 0.19% | 0.22% | 0.33% | 0.01% | -0.07% | 0.17% | |
| JPY | 0.48% | 0.08% | 0.13% | 0.27% | -0.05% | -0.13% | 0.09% | |
| NZD | 0.54% | 0.27% | 0.29% | 0.42% | 0.07% | 0.08% | 0.23% | |

The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the Euro from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent EUR (base)/JPY (quote).
Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda's relatively hawkish comments following the BoJ's decision to leave the policy settings unchanged triggered a sharp decline in USD/JPY, suggesting that the Japanese Yen attracted capital outflows out of the USD. Although the renewed USD weakness helped EUR/USD push higher, EUR/JPY also came under bearish pressure and made it difficult for EUR/USD to gather further bullish momentum.
The European Commission will release the preliminary Consumer Confidence data for January later in the day, which is unlikely to impact the Euro's valuation in a noticeable way.
The US economic docket will not feature any high-tier data releases. Hence, investors will pay close attention to risk perception.
Wall Street's main indexes closed modestly higher following a bullish opening on Monday. Early Tuesday, US stock index futures trade mixed. In case risk flows start to dominate the action in the second half of the day, the USD could struggle to find demand.
