EUR/USD: Levels, Ranges, Targets
Not only is a supposed June hike possible but the June raise timing if it materializes coincides to July 1 changes at the ECB. Current Fed/Eonia spreads run 0.72 bps while a possible Fed hike would raise spreads to 0.85 bps. The Fed nor the ECB will be able to contain this type of volatility no matter how much advance warning received. The most important aspect to the volatility story is the success or failure of the ECB's new plans as the design is slated to stop volatility. The other aspect to a possible June raise is not only a severely overbought USD interest rate system but FED M1.
Current M1 weeklies run in billions 3224.00 and 3108.00 Feb 22nd. Monthlies run 3183 from April and 3105 February 2016. On a 5 year basis, 3183 rose dramatically from 1898. 10 year from April 06 rose from 1380 to current 3183. And from the 2008 crisis, 1405 to 3183 or 2.3 times the rise. To offer context, July 2001 M1 was 1131.
From 1960, current M1 is in a first and uncharted territory. Why M1 is because not only does M1 correlate to exchange rates but interest rates and money supplies share an adverse relationship. Between overbought short term interest rates and rising money supplies is not a proscription to raise by any economic standards. Not sure if even Keynes would approve.
