EUR/USD is grinding its way lower. Did it pick a new direction or is the move only temporary? And how will it react to trade wars?
Here is their view, courtesy of eFXnews:
Danske Research discusses EUR/USD outlook in relation to the recent trade wars developments between the US and China.
Two scenarios for the US-China trade conflict. We are now entering a crucial phase in the trade conflict with heightened uncertainty as to what will happen next.
“1- Our base case of negotiations and a ‘grand bargain’ could notably weigh on EUR/USD.
2- However, in our risk scenario of an outright trade war, where the US isolates itself, we stress that this will: (i) in the short term return focus to US protectionist measures being associated with a political push for a weaker USD from the Trump administration and send the USD lower still and (ii) in the medium term weigh on the USD via productivity differentials with our ‘trade-war-adjusted’ medium-term valuation (MEVA) estimate for EUR/USD being around 1.34,†Danske argues.
