EUR: Still reluctant to chase euro much higher – ING
We stick to our call that EUR/USD will start to lose support once crossing 1.040, as the euro remains broadly unattractive from a macro fundamental perspective and Trump has indicated that the EU should be next on the tariff list. A EUR:USD two-year swap rate gap at -185bp is a mirror of that – via the monetary policy channel – and a key disincentive to chase EUR/USD much higher, ING's FX analyst Francesco Pesole notes.
EUR/USD to start losing support once crossing 1.040
"Domestically, the eurozone calendar is quite quiet for the remainder of the week. Trade news will dominate in EUR/USD price action, although we’ll be interested to hear whether the slightly hotter-than-expected inflation figures trigger some minor change in the narrative by ECB members. Chief Economist Philip Lane speaks this afternoon."
"EUR/JPY downside remains interesting. Japanese nominal cash wages accelerated to 4.8% YoY in December, well above the 3.7% consensus. Real earnings were up 0.6% YoY. That reinforces our call for two rate hikes by the Bank of Japan this year and improves the outlook for the yen."
