EUR/USD Week Ahead Outlook Poor, ECB Meeting in Focus.
After the recent falls in EUR/USD there are plenty of reasons to still be bearish, including weak German economic growth, another political crisis in Italy and a slow vaccine rollout in the EU.
Moreover, little is expected from the coming week’s ECB meeting, with all the central bank’s key settings likely to remain unchanged.
However, it is also possible that all the bad news has been priced in to the exchange rate already and that – barring a strong risk-off move that boosts the US Dollar – the Euro will spend the week stabilizing before perhaps weakening further.
EURO PRICE OUTLOOK LOW
The last few sessions have been terrible for EUR/USD bulls, who have had to cope with a firmer US Dollar, news that German GDP growth fell by 5% in 2020, yet another political crisis in Italy and a slow coronavirus vaccine rollout in the EU.
On the bright side, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde was optimistic, predicting an economic recovery as Covid-19 uncertainty wanes and adding that the EU has all the tools it needs to overcome the crisis.
A further flood of money into the perceived safety of the USD also seems unlikely given President-elect Joe Biden’s fiscal plans to stimulate the US economy and continuing monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve despite talk that it might taper its asset-buying program.
Against this background, a period of stabilization seems likely but after that a further period of weakness cannot be ruled out despite the ECB’s concerns over the exchange rate and inflation – things it has little power to influence.
