EURO-DOLLAR: ANZ believe that "a more positive backdrop for the euro is
emerging, having been rocked by trade anxiety and elevated growth concerns in
Q2. Stabilising growth and reduced trade anxiety should allow for a gradual EUR
recovery in coming months. Fundamentally, a weaker EUR is not needed, whilst
sustained EUR depreciation could unsettle renewed trade dialogue between
Brussels and Washington. Higher US policy rates are not a reason to sell the
EUR. We think euro weakness has run much of its course for now and advise buying
into weakness. Reduced trade uncertainty, a stabilisation in the data,
discounted policy rate differentials, a large current account surplus and the
geopolitical sensitivities of exchange rate moves all suggest it may be close
to, or already have reached, its lows on this move. We advise buying the EUR/USD
at current levels and averaging into any near term weakness. We look for a
medium term move towards 1.25 and above."
