G10: Global economy to weaken in Q4 - BofA

eFXdata reports that Bank of America Global Research discusses its expectations for the global economy into year-end.

"We expect the global economy to weaken in 4Q. The strong rebound in 3Q was temporary, driven by base effects from the 2Q lockdown. We have actually been surprised the market reacted so positively to the strong 3Q data. We expect reintroduction of COVID-19 measures in most countries, and particularly in Europe, will also contribute to a weak 4Q. We note the US economy continues to perform better than most of the rest of G10," BofA notes.

"We see further USD and JPY strength in 4Q. We forecast EURUSD at 1.14 and USDJPY at 103. These forecasts looked aggressive during the summer, but we believe are reasonable following the market correction in September," BofA adds.
