EURO-DOLLAR: BofAML write that "our main thesis for this year is that, to the
extent that the US fiscal stimulus weakened EUR/USD in 2018, EUR/USD should
strengthen in 2019 as the impact of the US fiscal stimulus fades. US growth
peaked in Q2 2018 and is already slowing. Although the US continues growing
above potential, our economists expect the US to be growing at potential by the
end of this year. The fiscal stimulus pushed the US economy above potential and
the USD above equilibrium. Our thesis suggests that as the impact of the fiscal
stimulus fades, US growth will go back to potential and the USD back to
equilibrium. Expecting growth in the Eurozone and the US to be at potential and
ECB and Fed monetary policies to start converging by the end of the year, we are
forecasting EURUSD to move back to its long-term equilibrium. We expect EUR/USD
at between $1.20 to $1.25 this year-at $1.25 by the end of the year."
