ECB hikes rates to fight Iran war inflation — short the Euro against a resilient US Dollar

Europe's central bank just raised interest rates for the first time in years to fight inflation caused by the Iran war. Meanwhile, U.S. inflation is also running hot, putting the Federal Reserve in a tight spot.

Idea

The European Central Bank just raised interest rates to combat inflation driven by the Iran war. While higher rates usually strengthen a currency, the Eurozone economy is highly sensitive to energy prices and is much more fragile than the U.S. economy right now. If the Federal Reserve signals it might also hike rates next week, the U.S. dollar will likely crush the Euro as global capital seeks the safest, highest return.
