ECB's Villeroy: We are not currently in a currency war but rather a trade war situation

  • Remarks by ECB policymaker, Francois Villeroy de Galhau
  • Protectionism and uncertainty are having a negative impact on US economic confidence

My guess is that he's commenting on the euro's recent showing against the dollar in comparison. I think ECB policymakers can take in some comfort that EUR/USD did ease off from a high of around 1.1500 in April. But as the trade conflict is yet to be resolved, it's no time to be complacent just yet.
