Italy Troubles Keep Pressure on Euro ETFs
The euro currency and related ETF have been stuck in a rut as concerns over Italy's budget scuffle with the European Union and speculation of an Italian exit from the euro bloc.

"I am truly convinced that Italy would solve most of its problems if it had its own currency," Borghi said in a radio interview Tuesday.

The other major factor that drove the euro higher was the assurances by Italian politicians that their nation would stay within the European Union. European equity markets, which are tracked by the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK), didn’t have the same enthusiasm as the euro, as new tariff threats to the European car industry from the Trump administration unnerved investors.

Why Italian Election Uncertainty Drove EUR-USD Lower
Last week, the euro-dollar (FXE) exchange rate moved below 1.16 for the first time in six months, driven lower by Italian and Spanish political uncertainty. With no mainstream party in the lead, Italy could face another election in a few months.
