EUR/USD: further growth of the dollar is likely
31/03/2020
At the beginning of today's European session, EUR / USD is traded near 1.0965, through which an important short-term support level is passing (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart). The break of this support level may lead to an acceleration of the EUR / USD decline.
According to preliminary official data released on Tuesday, in March the annual inflation rate in the Eurozone was 0.7% versus 1.2% in February. The target inflation rate set by the ECB is just below 2%.
At the same time, the indicator of the mood of companies and consumers in the Eurozone in March showed the largest one-month drop in the entire history of observations against the background of the proliferation and tightening of measures aimed at containing the pandemic of the coronavirus.
Economists' forecasts regarding the GDP of two competing economies (the US and the Eurozone) speak in favor of the American economy and, as a result, in favor of the US assets and the dollar (economists suggest that Eurozone GDP will decrease by 3.6% in 2020 due to the effects of coronavirus on the economy , while US GDP this year will also decline, but less than Eurozone GDP, by 2.9%).
At the same time, the uncertainty is still too high, and the growth prospects of the global economy remain under the influence of downward risks, which also supports the dollar as a safe haven.
Despite the fact that in the near future an avalanche of dollar liquidity will pour into the financial system of the world (after the announcement of extraordinary incentive measures by the Fed and the US government), the dollar continues to be in demand. In the near future, its further growth is most likely, including in the EUR / USD pair.
