Next 1-3 weeks: “There is no change in our view from last Friday (24 Sep, spot at 1.1745). As highlighted, the recent weak phase in EUR has ended and EUR is likely to trade between 1.1700 and 1.1800 for now. While EUR subsequently dropped to 1.1699, downward momentum has not improved. That said, looking ahead, the downside risk is greater but EUR has close below 1.1680 before a sustained decline can be expected.”
