EUR/USD could see a 1.0800-1.0900 range develop over the next few days – ING

EUR/USD has edged below the 1.0850 mark after having traded close to 1.09. Economists at ING analyze the pair’s outlook.

EUR/USD to stay steady into year-end

We could see a 1.0800-1.0900 range develop over the next few days and certainly, a move back under the 1.0765 area would undo all of this week’s positive developments. 

In terms of the bigger picture, we doubt EUR/USD will lead next year’s Dollar bear trend. And we favour benchmark cross rates, such as EUR/AUD to come lower. Before that, however, we currently forecast EUR/USD staying quite steady – not far from current levels – into year-end.
