Full Analysis
What the desk is arguing
Goldman Sachs has revised its EUR/USD forecasts upward, with targets now set at 1.1800 for March 2026, 1.2100 for June 2026, and 1.2500 for December 2026. This adjustment aligns with recent trends showing increasing support for the euro amidst shifting economic indicators in the eurozone, including enhanced growth prospects and stable inflation rates.
This revision implicitly challenges the stance of firms maintaining more conservative targets, indicating that a portion of the market may still underestimate the euro's potential in the near term. As the eurozone continues to show resilience against global economic challenges, Goldman appears to capitalize on this positive momentum.
Where it sits in our coverage
The median consensus target for EUR/USD across firms stands at 1.1800 for March 2026, with a range from 1.1700 to 1.2000. Goldman Sachs’ new target for the same tenor mirrors this central forecast, showing alignment with consensus yet diverges notably with its more aggressive targets for later periods.
Specifically, the following firms have set their December 2026 targets as follows:
- JPMorgan: 1.2000
- MorganStanley: 1.1600
- MUFG: 1.2400
How other firms see it
Other firms have mixed reactions to Goldman Sachs' upbeat revisions. While ING maintains a target of 1.1900 for March 2026 and shows a bullish outlook, MorganStanley appears more skeptical with a lower forecast of 1.1600 for December 2026.
- Aligned firms:
- ING: 1.1900 (Mar26)
- Contrary firms:
- MorganStanley: 1.1600 (Dec26)
Market Implications
The upward revision in forecasts could lead to increased market demand for the euro against the dollar, potentially influencing trading strategies and capital flows into euro-denominated assets. If the euro continues to strengthen as suggested, traders may adjust their positions accordingly, reinforcing the bullish sentiment in the FX market.
