DBS Group Research’s Philip Wee notes that EUR/USD’s recent advance stalled after repeated failures to break 1.18, as the European Central Bank (ECB) pushes back against expectations for an April rate hike. He highlights that Eurozone growth forecasts have been trimmed but still compare favourably to ECB staff projections, and argues it is premature to call an end to the Euro’s recovery against the Dollar.
