EUR: Lagarde Suggests EUR Strength is "Counterintuitive"
Apr-22 14:25
Lagarde seemingly suggesting the euro strength has run beyond fundamentals and is "counterintuitive", however she adds that EUR strength reflects Europe's fundamentals. She last commented on the currency as being stronger due to "resilient market sentiment" on April 17th, back when EUR/USD traded ~1.1375.
- We noted earlier that EUR had traded a record high in trade-weighted terms - and while it's unsurprisingly the most stretched DM currency vs historical ranges, GBP, CHF and SEK (just) see a more elevated REER relative to its five-year average. GBP leads on this alternative approach, sitting 6.2% and 7.5% higher than five- and ten-year averages vs 3.9% and 4.7% for the euro.
