SGD to Euro Exchange Rate

What influences the AUD/EUR exchange rate?

As of 2016, sovereign debt risk in some EU member countries may be an important factor for the EUR/AUD exchange rate.² Interest rate differentials may also play a role in determining the market rate between the two. As the largest economy in the eurozone, Germany’s economic data may also influence euro valuations.

Because the Australian dollar is often considered a commodity currency, demand for major exports like iron ore may influence the AUD’s strength relative to the euro. Similarly, because Asia is a primary trade partner for Australia, slowing in major Asian economies may affect the EUR/AUD exchange rate.
