EUR/USD could move closer to 1.10 after disappointing US data – SocGen

The Euro has had a great second week of the year. Société Générale economists expect that EUR/USD tests 1.10 level after disappointing US data this week.

Pullbacks are likely to be seen as a buying opportunity

“Both EUR/USD and EUR/GBP are expensive based on 2-year rate differentials, but pullbacks are likely to be seen as a buying opportunity“.

The least pessimistic view of the European economy (will there be no contraction of GDP in the fourth quarter?), Inflows into stocks, the prospect of a narrowing Fed-ECB rate spread and improving demand from China bode well for the common currency in the medium term.”

Disappointing US Retail Sales and a Weak PPI Producer Price Index on Wednesday they would further consolidate the arguments for a 25 basis point hike by the Fed next month and will push EUR/USD closer to the next resistance levels at 1.0940 and 1.10.”
