EUR shoots at 1.14 before consolidating – Scotiabank

The euro (EUR) tested the upper part of 1.08 on Monday and quoted at a maximum of three years above 1.14 previously. It is remarkable that the increase in EUR is occurring in a context of expansion of the EZ/US differential Scotiabank.

“But the great movement in the yields of the bonds and the differentials (the 2 -year differential has expanded 43 basic points since Monday) this week reflects a lack of confidence in the US Treasury bonds and a demand for refuge for German bunds and, therefore, for the EUR. The EUR is moving away from its maximum intradic in the USD above 1.14, but drift reflects a pause or consolidation in the rally rather than a reversal at this time.

“In fact, the upward trend in the EUR seems to be firmly established in short, medium and long -term studies, suggesting that minor falls (low/media 1.12 perhaps) are a purchase opportunity and that more EUR profits will be developed in the medium term. The solid EUR profits above 1.12 This week suggests that EUR could be aimed at a new higher range between 1.17/1.22.”
