Bearish EUR/USD
EUR/USD pares the rebound from the monthly-low 1.1107 as European Central Bank ECB officials strike a dovish tone, and the Euro Dollar exchange rate may struggle to hold its ground ahead of the next meeting on June 6 as the Governing Council keeps the door open to further insulate the monetary union.
Recent remarks from ECB board member Olli Rehn suggest the central bank will retain a dovish forward-guidance for monetary policy as the official warns that ‘market participants may have in general lost their faith in central banks’ ability to raise inflation closer to the target.’
In turn, the ECB may continue to rely on non-standard measures as the central bank prepares to launch another round of Targeted Long-Term Refinance Operations TLTRO starting in September, and the Euro stands at risk of facing a more bearish fate over the coming days if Governing Council shows a greater willingness to implement a negative interest rate policy NIRP.
