EUR/USD to remain glued into the lower half of September’s 0.95-1.02 range – SocGen

The US economy dictates EUR/USD prospects. Therefore, the EUR/USD is unlikely to race higher as the American economy continues to outperform the eurozone, Kit Juckes, Chief Global FX Strategist at Société Générale, reports.

It is hard to see the euro staging much of a rally

“The US has been outperforming the eurozone since mid-2021, and that outperformance has been accompanied by a rising dollar. It shows no signs of abating.”

“We’ll see what this afternoon’s US ISM data throws out (the consensus looks for a fall from 53.8 to 52.4), but if the US economy continues to outperform (in both manufacturing and services ISMs, and in the payroll report at the end of the week), then it’s hard to see the euro staging much of a rally.”

“Easier to see it mostly glued into the lower half of September’s EUR/USD 0.95-1.02 range.”
