HOW THE EURO CAN FALL TO PARITY VERSUS DOLLAR
The debate surrounding the euro-dollar outlook remains intense, with investors focused on the divergence of the Fed's and the ECB's easing paths.
George Saravelos, global head of forex strategy at Deutsche Bank, says there is even a chance for the single currency to fall back towards parity against the dollar from its current level around $1.09.
Here's how he says that could happen.
Firstly, "Relative r* estimates suggest that the gap between Fed – ECB terminal rate pricing should be closer to 170bps than the 130bps that is currently priced," he says, arguing that an additional 40bps widening in front-end rate spreads would take EUR/USD down to 1.07, based on current betas.
r* is the interest rate that would keep the economy operating at full employment and inflation stable over the medium to long term, central banks' aim.
Then there is the U.S. elections, the outcome of which could lead to an increase in tariffs across the world.
Saravelos argues that 10% tariffs on Europe "could be largely offset by a 2% depreciation on the trade-weighted euro, taking EUR/USD down to 1.05."
He then takes that thought a stage further noting a global trade war involving China would hit the European economy, and could force the ECB to cut below neutral.
"In this scenario, let us assume an additional 100bps of widening in the rate spread versus the U.S. (150bps of extra ECB cuts against an extra 50bps cuts from the Fed). This would take rate spreads to all-time historical extremes and EUR/USD down to around 1.00."
