The Euro has retreated below the 1.1200 mark against a resurgent US Dollar, despite a softer than expected ISM Services PMI. This development highlights the USD's dominance as safe-haven flows and expectations for the Federal Reserve's rate hold continue to overshadow growth concerns. The Euro's decline suggests that market participants might be reassessing their short-term outlook for the ECB's policy stance, particularly in light of stable or potential widening interest rate differentials between the US and Eurozone.
Currently, our consensus target for EUR/USD is set at 1.1634 (median across 12 firms), with Commerzbank projecting the highest target at 1.2200 for December 2026, while Lloyds and TMG both place lower targets around the 1.1200 mark. This range reflects a notable divergence among firms regarding the Euro's trajectory in the coming months.
Rabobank aligns closely with the prevailing USD strength narrative, targeting EUR/USD at 1.1759 by March 2026, suggesting an optimistic view on Euro recovery. Conversely, TMG's targets of only 1.1447 over the same period indicate a bearish perspective that counters the headline view. This reflects a wider skepticism among certain firms about the Euro's resilience against the USD.
Recent forecast revisions by firms like Citigroup and BofA have lowered their expectations for the Euro, aligning with the downward trend seen in spot prices.

Market implications
In the near term, watch for EUR/USD to find support around the 1.1200 level. Key economic calendar events, including US employment data and upcoming ECB meetings, could shift market sentiment. Our consensus target of 1.1634 suggests recovery potential, but current dynamics favor the USD.
Risks to this view
A shift in the US economic data trajectory—especially if inflationary pressures increase—could lead to a rapid recalibration of market sentiment towards the USD. Additionally, a hawkish shift from the ECB could support the Euro's recovery, invalidating the current bearish view.
