Euro Price Forecast: EUR/USD Gearing Up for ECB Rate Decision

EUR/USD TALKING POINTS

  • Different scenarios for next week’s ECB rate decision.
  • Parity still at risk as fundamental headwinds grow.

EURO FUNDAMENTAL BACKDROP

The euro has been testing parity several times this week but has yet to convincingly break below at this point. This sets up next week’s key risk event quite nicely with the ECB rate announcement scheduled on Thursday (see calendar below). Coinciding with the interest rate decision comes the expected resumption of Russian gas flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline on the same day and with political uncertainty at play, there is no guarantee that gas flows will resume.

The ECB has pre-announced a 25bps rate hike (which may not be the wisest choice) while money market price in 30-35bps as of now. That points to the possibility of a hawkish surprise however the current Italian political backdrop will weigh negatively on this outcome (widening BTP/Bund spreads). Key points to consider for the meeting will include more guidance around anti-fragmentation along with a weakening euro which is heightening the inflationary impact on the consumer.

It says the highest inflation rate ever, but ECB is still unmoved lol. However, what is the time frame that has been taken into account? 20 years? or 50 years?

EURO ANALYSIS

  • ECB to finally achieve lift-off, Nord Stream maintenance ends and Italy PM resignation
  • BTP/BUND spreads widen before immediately pulling back – volatility raised
  • Key EUR/USD levels ahead of EU inflation and ECB

RISKS MOUNT IN DEFINING WEEK FOR THE EURO
ECB to Finally Achieve Lift-off

This week Thursday we have the European Central Bank (ECB) rate decision on hand. The much anticipated 25 basis point hike has been communicated extensively by ECB Governing Council members for many weeks now but there is still a possibility of a 50 basis point hike, especially if inflation data tomorrow necessitates it.

    • One of the biggest banks in the UK, Chase Bank, has said that it would no longer accept cryptocurrency payments from UK clients. On October 16th, the prohibition is anticipated to go into force. The region's crypto users have reacted to the bank's move in a variety of ways. While some detractors have criticised Chase for acting without regard for how the financial environment is changing, others have applauded the decision as evidence of the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies by the general public. Chase's decision is unknown at this time, although it is most likely the result of a number of considerations, including the volatility and fraud risks connected with cryptocurrencies and the UK's lack of regulation.https://coinpedia.org/news/chase-bank-takes-a-stance-no-more-crypto-payments-for-uk-clients/amp/ Chase Bank's restriction on cryptocurrency payments is likely to have a big impact on UK cryptocurrency users, therefore it's important to prepare and have a backup plan in place. Here is a choice I am aware of right now: • Making use of a cryptocurrency exchange with in-house payment processing capabilities. Users would thus be able to purchase and trade cryptocurrencies without the need for a bank account, which is mostly used in peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. If you live in the UK and want to buy or trade cryptocurrencies, you need do your homework and pick a reliable platform. Please share any alternatives you are aware of with us so we can learn.
    • Hi all, I am looking to open a spreadbet trade for Steakholder Foods but IG seem to currently not allow this. Do any of you know how best I can trade this stock? Looking to buy at around 80
    • I wanted to start investing and was surprised to find out how much I need to invest to get at least a euro. For this reason, I became interested in the stocks of small companies that might become large corporations in the future. Where can I find such companies? I found the website Fox Funds AI, but the selection there is limited.
