    Answer: no. Interest rate in euro zone is lower than interest rate in the united state

Since exchange rate level is expected to increase we can assume that the interest rate of Euro zone is less than the interest rate of united states

    The interest rate is higher in the euro zone.

    Explanation:

    In foreign exchange, high interest rates attract foreign investors, appreciating a currency. On the other hand, low interest rates result in a depreciation of the currency.

    In this case, the euro appreciated and the dollar depreciated, that means that the interest rate of the euro zone is higher than the interest rate in the US.
