Escalation of the Ukrainian crisis to stoke the headwinds of stagflation that plague the eurozone

“The escalation of the Ukrainian crisis may stoke the stagflation headwinds plaguing the eurozone and may delay the ECB’s exit from its accommodative policies.”

“The relative exchange rate disadvantage of the euro, as well as persistent geopolitical and economic risks, may deter foreign investors from returning to European capital markets in the foreseeable future, while a further worsening of the external imbalances of the euro zone can reduce the net demand for euros by companies”.

“We think EUR/USD could remain close to recent lows in the near term.”
