EUR/USD to accelerate the decline on break below 1.1650 – OCBC
|With the underlying risk-off tilt still likely in place, Terence Wu, FX strategist at OCBC Bank, expects the broad USD to stay buoyant into the end of the week. The analyst is also turning more negative on the euro on the back of softening macro recovery and a return to increased restrictions. The EUR/USD pair is currently trading at 1.1675, representing a 1.4% decline on a week-to-date basis.
