Danske Bank: EUR/USD will rise in a year

Currency strategists at Danske Bank came up with concrete forecasts for the pair EUR/USD.

The specialists note that the United States face weaker than expected growth, long period of minimal interest rates, large current account deficit as well as the serious fiscal challenges and increased political risks.

As a result, in medium-term the bank is bearish on the greenback and thinks that in such conditions the single currency will be able to gain.

According to Danske Bank, euro will rise to $1.50 versus its American counterpart in a year. The previous forecast was at $1.36. The 3-month estimate though was reduced to $1.42 on the expectations of weak macro data during the next few months.
