Euro: ECB guidance could keep range intact against US Dollar – DBS

Philip Wee at DBS Group Research expects the European Central Bank to keep its deposit rate unchanged while signalling a possible December hike. He suggests the ECB will use the breathing space from France’s rating affirmation to focus on its 2% inflation target. A balanced message from Christine Lagarde is seen stabilizing EUR/USD within the recent 1.11–1.13 range.

"The ECB is likely to seize the breathing space afforded by Moody’s affirmation of France’s Aa3 sovereign debt rating to prioritise the return of inflation to its 2% target."

"ECB President Christine Lagarde will need to reinforce the ECB’s inflation-fighting credentials without appearing complacent about France’s fiscal vulnerabilities."

"A balanced message should help stabilize EUR/USD within this month’s 1.11-1.13 trading range."
