TREE NEWS update: French Finance Minister Lescure said the euro does not appear undervalued at the 1.10 level against the dollar. A weaker euro has given French exporters some breathing room. Lescure’s remarks address the currency’s valuation as it trades around that threshold.
French Finance Minister Lescure: EUR/USD at 1.10 Not Undervalued
AI take
The notable element is a French official declining to call the euro cheap at a level that has been helping exporters, which is a different tone than the usual complaints about an overstrong currency. It matters because it signals the euro area's largest economy is not treating the exchange rate as a policy problem right now, which reduces pressure for verbal intervention. Whether other euro-area officials echo or diverge from that view is the open question.
