Euro's Remarkable Rise

In a stunning turn of events, the euro experienced a significant leap against the Australian dollar this Thursday, marking its highest value since March 2020. This surge comes in the wake of former United States President Donald Trump's announcement of retaliatory tariffs on imports from various countries, including a 10% tariff on Australia and New Zealand, sparking fears over global trade stability and causing stock markets worldwide to plummet.
