EUR/USD will struggle to trade sustainably above 1.0600 – ING

The EUR/USD pair continues to rise towards 1.0600. But in the view of ING economists, a recovery above 1.06 would be premature.

Rate expectations are unlikely to change much in the coming days

“Markets are pricing in around 55 basis points of tightening ahead of next week’s ECB meeting, and with no more speakers ahead of the rate release and no key data releases other than Tuesday’s ZEW surveys, we doubt that expectations about interest rates move a lot in the coming days.”

“Our base case remains that EUR/USD will struggle to sustainably trade above 1.0600, and faces mainly downside risks at the end of the yearas the dollar could recover some ground on uncertainty about global risk and the rebound in energy prices.”
