FUKOKA, Japan (Reuters) - Investors have understood the European Central Bank’s latest policy message “very well”, ECB policymaker Ignazio Visco said on Sunday when asked about a rise in the euro despite the possibility of new monetary easing.

“The market has understood very well,” Visco said after a G20 meeting in Japan. He blamed the rise in the single currency on “interactions with U.S. interest rates etc.”
