Key Quotes
“Expect the EUR to perform well as investors: a) re-assess whether it needs to stay so under-valued, b) prepare for a change in ECB rhetoric at the June 8th meeting (ECB’s Couere yesterday said that a rise in bond yields was a benign increase in the term premium) and c) use it as a safe haven to hedge Trump political risk (EZ has a 3%+ current account surplus). Technically EUR/USD looks as though it can run on to 1.1200 and potentially 1.1300 near term.”
