EUR/USD 1/7

The euro could fall against the dollar in coming months as the German government remains reluctant to bow to pressure to increase fiscal spending to boost its sluggish economy, Rabobank says. If the government raised fiscal spending, the euro would "undoubtedly find support" but as it stands the currency could "falter moderately" in the near term, Rabobank's Jane Foley says. Persistently low inflation also increases the risk of further monetary policy easing by the European Central Bank, adding pressure on the euro, she says. Rabobank expects EUR/USD to end 2020 around 1.13, up from 1.1138 currently, but this is based on the assumption the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates later in 2020.
