1.1130 USD = 1 EUR 2026-10-29 ECB Reference rate

The European Central Bank published its euro reference rate for 29 October 2026, fixing one euro at 1.1130 US dollars. This is a daily benchmark calculated from concertation between central banks at 14:15 CET, and it is used for official accounting, contract valuation, and reporting rather than as a market trading price. The fixing itself transmits information through the exchange-rate channel: a level of 1.1130 reflects the prevailing relative stance of euro-area and US interest rates, growth expectations, and risk sentiment, and moves in the pair shift the dollar value of euro-denominated earnings and dollar-denominated euro-area imports. The euro-dollar pair and EUR-linked currency crosses are the most directly exposed, while exporters and multinationals with significant translation exposure in either currency will see revaluation effects in their reported results. Traders should watch the next ECB policy communication and euro-area inflation flash estimates, along with US Federal Reserve rate signals, since shifts in the rate differential are the most likely driver of any subsequent move away from this reference level.

The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency and the base for most forex majors. Headlines about Federal Reserve policy, US macro data (CPI, NFP, GDP), and Treasury yield shifts typically drive USD pair direction within seconds of release.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
