The Euro made notable gains on Monday, buoyed by hopes for a peace agreement in Ukraine and anticipated heightened defense expenditures across the eurozone.
Following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's tumultuous meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, European leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, committed to drafting a peace proposal for the Washington administration.
