EUR/USD: Limited scope for lower yields at the front-end in the Eurozone will provide Euro with support – MUFG
|EUR/USD managed to rebound yesterday. Economists at MUFG Bank discuss the pair’s outlook.
ECB minutes point to two more hikes
The minutes (known as the accounts) from the ECB meeting on 4th May were released yesterday and again the take-away here also reinforces the prospect of at least two more rate hikes by the ECB.
ECB President Lagarde stated yesterday that there was ‘no clear evidence’ that underlying inflation had peaked. Expect that rhetoric to be repeated when President Lagarde speaks in the policy press conference on 14th June after a likely hike of 25 bps.
The ECB minutes, the comments from Lagarde and the fact that services inflation could well drift higher over the summer on tourism-related inflationary pressures, we see limited scope for lower yields at the front-end in the Eurozone which will provide EUR with support at these lower levels.
