Nov 6 (Reuters) - EUR/USD could drop to 1.05 for the first time in over a year, if not 1.00 for the first time in two years, if Donald Trump introduces tariffs on European Union imports via his promised "Trump reciprocal trade act".
Trump last week said the EU "don't take our cars.
They don't take our farm products.
They sell millions and millions of cars in the United States.
No, no, no, they are going to have to pay a big price".
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen attempted to pour oil on troubled waters on Wednesday by saying the EU and the US "are more than just allies" as she congratulated Trump after he claimed victory in the 2024 US presidential contest.
EUR/USD sank to an 18-week low by 1.0700 as the dollar jumped on the US presidential election results (EUR/USD was trading on a 1.09 handle when polling stations closed in Georgia at midnight GMT).
