Key Quotes:
“Whilst we expect a near term pause, from our cross asset lens we note that relative short end rate differentials, relative performance of periphery spreads vs. bunds and higher commodity prices/ higher HICP inflation are likely to keep EUR outperformance intact. Technically, the EUR has now broken out of medium term downtrend and looks set to eventually test 1.20+”.
“EURUSD price action here is increasingly looking similar to that seen before the correction lower from 1.1422 to 1.1168 on June. This may suggest a danger of a deeper correction in the coming days (possibly as far as 1.1475-1.1530). Upside for the pair includes 1.1934 and 1.2000, a break of which would open the way towards even higher levels of 1.24-1.25 by September.”
