At which point do you think the Euro/USD value creates problems?

I've been thinking over $1.50 is the pain point...and if growth slows, at some point the ECB will have to lower rates.

I know that they are not eager to lower rates, as they feel the high euro is creating confidence in the fledgling european experiment..but it's a dilemma. If they allow rates to remain high even while manufacturing suffers and Spain and others start to experience housing downturn,s they could potentially bring about the same tensions through a different route.
