EUR still trades well below FV
“The EUR has found a solid bid on the back of rising long-term yields as investors consider the potential for heftier government borrowing in Europe to bolster defence spending and nudge a higher in short-term yields on the back of stronger than expected preliminary Eurozone inflation for February (at 0.5% M/M and 2.4% Y/Y), Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes.”
“EZ/US 2Y spreads have narrowed to –194bps, the narrowest since late January. Spot continues to trade quite significantly below our short-term FV estimate (1.0744 today).”
“Solid gains intraday so far suggest firm support for the EUR around the upper 1.03 zone (40-day MA at 1.0393) and the potential for spot gains to extend to the low 1.05s (100-day MA at 1.0512, recent peaks around 1.0530).”
