Euro: Supported by limited policy divergence against US Dollar – BBH
Brown Brothers Harriman’s Elias Haddad reports EUR/USD has rebounded above 1.1200 after the ECB paused while pushing back against aggressive market tightening expectations. Strong Eurozone GDP and inflation projected above target keep a December rate hike in play, though French fiscal concerns could cap Euro gains and potentially drag EUR/USD back toward lower levels.
ECB pause but December hike still live
"EUR/USD recovered above 1.1200 after hitting a 17-month low at 1.1105 following yesterday’s ECB policy decision. The ECB paused and tempered tightening expectations. The ECB kept rates on hold at 2.50% as was widely expected but pushed back against the nearly 75bps of tightening implied by markets over the next twelve months."
"Nevertheless, resilient Eurozone economic activity and inflation projected to remain above target for an extended period keep a December rate hike to 2.75% firmly in play (86% priced in). Indeed, real GDP rose 0.4% q/q in Q3 vs. 0.6% in Q2, double the consensus forecast, as growth in Spain and Germany offset France’s contraction."
"The ECB leadership change is unlikely to alter the near-term policy outlook and has no material implication on EUR. The ECB Governing Council is not a one-person show; 21 members have voting rights, including six Executive Board members and 15 governors of the national central banks."
"Bottom line, limited policy divergence between the ECB and Fed offers EUR/USD support. However, France’s ongoing fiscal troubles can drive EUR/USD down to 1.1000."
