Why EUR/USD is more likely to return to its range low
July 8 (Reuters) -There aregood reasons to think EUR/USD's upside potential will be limited and more chance of it heading back toward the lower end of the long term range at 1.1240-1.0448 over coming months.
While the French election may have avoided the fiscal disaster associated with a win for the far right National Rally (RN), it hasresulted in a hung parliament which will being its own problems for France and potentially, the euro.
A hung parliament makes it extremely difficult to pass legislation and fiscal spending plans and can therefore hurt investor sentiment when it comes to local bond and stock markets. This situation would also raise the contagion risk to fiscally weaker member states and would be sure to impact the euro, especially if the European Central Bank (ECB) was forced to adopt a more dovish stance.
EUR/USD is also vulnerable to Donald Trump winning the U.S. presidential election in November, with his inflationary policies potentially supporting higher U.S. interest rates and the carry appeal of the U.S. dollar.
Forward looking EUR/USD FX options have seen their volatility and downside over upside strike risk premiums revert lower since the first round French election results - consistent with a sharp fall in the risk of a sudden and volatileEUR/USD decline. However, that doesn't mean EUR/USD won't still grind steadily lower over coming months and price action is still showing more hedging activity on EUR/USD's downside, than its upside.
