The Societe Generale Research Team offer its outlook on EUR/USD for the first quarter of 2021, slightly bearish in the near-term.
Key quotes
“Fundamental market drivers haven’t changed, but positions were crowded.
If we can now reduce excess dollar shorts, then we’re setting the stage for a few more very messy days before underlying trends reassert themselves.
Our Q1 EUR/USD forecast (1.20) no longer looks outdated, and we hope that level will provide a base for this move.
The key issues going on from here may be:
1) Can the ECB successfully talk the euro down, and
2) Does relative growth mater in FX (not just in EUR/USD).”
