EUR/USD: Levels, Ranges, Targets
|Draghi on hold is the result to alternatives to CHF, GBP, DKK and SEK as those interest rates trade below European rates and are literally on the floor near zero. Negative interest rates contain bottoms at zero.
Added is non negative interest rate nation GBP. Anymore Draghi cuts will force the BOE to move.
Further, the entire Draghi story in interest rate cuts is not about economics at this stage, its systemic as two years later into negative, the cuts haven't produced any promises and the ECB is rolling out huge changes July 1. Now is not the time for Draghi to move interest rates further.
The interest rate game these days by central banks is compress not expand the channels between and among nations. To understand how this plan operates, I constructed a 10 nation, 9 year interest rate index and published results, findings, explantions, and the way forward in trades. The overall plan is garner control over M1, the exchange rate and severely limit volatility. On NFP day for example, today's EUR/USD pip range is 49 pips and down about 7 pips from yesterday's range. Central bank policies today are in uncharted territory, never before seen and far from the tradition.
