A chess game played on the financial field constantly keeps the EUR / USD pair in good shape. From time to time, victory remains for the dollar, then for the euro. This time, experts declare a possible victory for the "European".
A significant day for the European currency will be this Friday, November 22, experts are sure. Today, two important events are expected: a speech by Christine Lagarde, the new chairman of the ECB, and the publication of data on business activity in the eurozone in November. The market froze in tension, especially before the speech of the new head of the ECB. Recall that K. Lagarde, like M. Draghi, is a supporter of fiscal stimulus, considering it a necessary element of maintaining the region's economy. Experts admit that she may agree to strengthen incentive measures.
As a result, the situation may develop according to two scenarios, which will have a mutually exclusive effect on the dynamics of the euro. The first involves the hawkish, harsh rhetoric of the ECB. This will allow the EUR / USD pair to rise to the levels of 1,1100-1,1120. Recall that on Thursday, November 21, the European currency paired with the US dollar consolidated near the level of 1.1075. Analysts recorded the strengthening of the "European". The growth driver was the news of a possible compromise during the negotiations between the United States and China. During yesterday's trading, the EUR / USD pair rose to 1.1092, then fell slightly to the level of 1.1086. In the future, the growth of the tandem stopped.
In the case of easing monetary policy, the European currency will be overwhelmed by a flurry of volatility, experts are sure. "Pigeon", that is, the soft rhetoric of the regulator is able to lower the EUR / USD pair to 1.1000. The likelihood of such an outcome increases in the case of disappointing statistics on business activity indices. At the same time, experts admit that the optimistic tone of the speech by K. Lagarde will allow the tandem to reach a two-week high and exceed the bar at 1.1100.
The optimism regarding the euro is boosted by positive statistics about German GDP growth. This indicator exceeded the expectations of experts and encouraged investors. Experts believe that any changes in the strategy of the ECB management regarding monetary policy may lead to an explosion of volatility in the financial markets, especially in the EUR / USD pair. As already mentioned, softening the rhetoric will lead to the collapse of the euro, and tightening it will strengthen the position of the "European" and the growth of the EUR / USD pair.
It will be possible to count on the primacy of the single currency in the EUR / USD pair no earlier than the middle of next year, experts say. This is possible in the case of stabilization of the external background and clear progress in trade negotiations between the USA and China, as well as with a long-term improvement in business activity in Germany and the eurozone. In such a situation, the EUR / USD pair begins to grow, and the European currency receives a powerful boost.
Friday morning, November 22, the EUR / USD pair started quite cheerfully. The tandem rose to the level of 1.1073, but could not stay at this altitude for a long time.
In anticipation of the speech by K. Lagarde, the EUR / USD pair began to decline, currently plying near the indicators of 1.1054–1.1055. Experts fear that in the wake of this nervousness, the tandem may fall even lower.
The current dynamics of the "European" causes conflicting market sentiment. The further movement of the single currency will be determined by the speech of the head of the ECB and statistics on business activity in the eurozone, while experts are counting on a positive scenario. Analysts are also trying to predict the dynamics of the EUR / USD pair for 2020. Many experts rely on the European currency. This does not mean that the dollar will lose its position, but it can significantly weaken. Then the "European" will come on the scene, who has long sought to break out into the lead. Experts believe that in the long term, the euro will be able to implement its plan.
