Decision notes · ECB
EUR/USD moved: check the payment budget
Published
For: Energy buyers and traders with EUR budgets and USD payments
What changed: The ECB reference moved from USD 1.1133 per EUR on 2026-10-28 to 1.113 on 2026-10-29.
Decision implication: At these reference rates, an unchanged dollar payment requires more euros. Your actual settlement cost also depends on the bank quote, fees and hedges.
Still needed: Payment amount and date, executable bank rate, fees and existing hedge coverage.
Next step: Recalculate the euro cash requirement using the valid bank quote before committing the payment.
