1.1179 USD = 1 EUR 2026-11-03 ECB Reference rate

The European Central Bank published its euro reference rate for 3 November 2026, setting the euro at 1.1179 US dollars, a figure that is calculated from a daily concertation at 14:15 CET and serves as a benchmark rather than a live trading price. The reading signals the prevailing euro-dollar exchange rate as of that fixing, and changes from one fixing to the next are the most direct measure of relative currency performance between the two blocs. Movement in this pair is primarily transmitted through interest rate differentials, since shifts in expected Federal Reserve versus ECB policy paths alter the relative carry on dollar and euro assets and thus cross-border capital allocation. The euro and dollar crosses are most exposed, along with euro-area sovereign bonds and European exporters whose earnings are sensitive to dollar translation. The next catalyst for traders is the euro-area flash HICP inflation release and the subsequent ECB policy communication, which will shape how markets reprice the rate differential against the dollar.

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.
