1999: Euro launch

2002-2008: Euro ascent
The euro recovered from its 2001 low of 0.8252 and climbed steadily to an all-time high of 1.6038 USD in July 2008, as the US ran large current account deficits.
2010-2015: Eurozone crisis
The sovereign debt crisis in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain pushed EUR/USD below 1.20 as the euro's future was questioned.
2022: Parity
For the first time since 2002, EUR/USD reached parity in July 2022. The combination of the Ukraine war energy shock and Federal Reserve rate hikes drove dollar strength.
