Euro edges up from three-month lows as US Dollar buyers take a breather
The euro has rebounded slightly from its recent three-month lows, as buyers of the US dollar appear to be taking a short breather. This movement indicates a cautious sentiment among investors, possibly driven by profit-taking or adjustments to market positioning. With the EUR/USD currently at 1.1567, the pause in dollar strength could illustrate a potential for short-term recovery in the euro as traders reassess their outlooks. The overall dynamics of Eurozone economic data, paired with the prospective US monetary policy outlook, remain critical factors that will dictate the euro’s path forward.
Where it sits in our coverage
Our consensus EUR/USD target sits at 1.1700 (median across 12 firms), with Deutsche Bank at the upper end (1.2500) and UOB at the lower end (1.1445). The current euro level of 1.1567 suggests traders are looking for upward momentum but remain cautious against the backdrop of stronger dollar trends.
How firms align
Specific firms such as Deutsche Bank and MUFG offer relatively positive targets, projecting 1.2000 and 1.2600 for June 2026, respectively. Conversely, UOB holds a bearish stance with a target of 1.1506 for the same period, indicating some divergence in expectations toward euro resilience amidst dollar strength. For further details, see our reports on Deutsche Bank and MUFG.

Recent forecast revisions have seen firms like Morgan Stanley and UBS raising their March 2026 targets to 1.2000, signaling a growing consensus that the euro could recover in the near term, as detailed in our published research /research/eurusd-ecb-rate-path.
