Getty Images Somewhere between $800 billion and $2 trillion in dirty money moves through the global financial system every year, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime — and authorities manage to freeze less than 1% of it.

Euro sentiment cools after 2025 surge “While higher short-term interest rates are currency supportive, the market is already fully priced for another ECB rate hike this year, suggesting that one more policy move is unlikely to offer much support for the EUR. On balance, we expect EUR/USD to trade sideways close to current levels on a 1-to-3-month view.” “Irrespective of this, it is worth noting that the EUR was the second best performing G10 currency in Q2 2025 after the safe haven CHF.
