EUR/USD is lower than it “should” be, waiting for a catalyst to start rising again – SocGen

Kit Juckes, Chief Global FX Strategist at Société Générale, analyzes the EUR/USD outlook.

EUR/USD is back where it was in 2015, after the Draghi devaluation

The market can see the ECB normalise policy but is concerned about economic weakness. It can see the Fed tighten but having failed to see the US tightening cause a recession yet, will soon have stopped worrying that one will ever arrive. You don’t need to read your children a lot of fairy tales to know how that plays out.
