Historical Context

The 2008 financial crisis triggered significant fluctuations in global currencies, notably the euro, which fell to 1.25 against the dollar amid investor uncertainty. This volatility echoes past trends, as the U.S. dollar's strength often correlates with economic conditions in emerging markets.
