Euro: Range trade around key supports against US Dollar – UOB
The Euro is currently trading in a range around key support levels against the US Dollar, hovering at 1.1434. Analysts at UOB point to substantial support zones that traders should watch closely, particularly with existing sentiment remaining neutral across currencies. This range-bound trading is particularly relevant as we look ahead to potential shifts in monetary policy, which could influence the Euro's trajectory in the near term.
Where it sits in our coverage
Our consensus EUR/USD target sits at 1.1700 (median across firms), with Goldman at the upper bound (1.1800) and Citi at the lower bound (1.1300). UOB’s perspective aligns well with our consensus view, highlighting the importance of maintaining a close watch on the Euro’s performance around the current level.
How firms align
Commerzbank and MUFG have targets reflecting bullish sentiment towards the Euro, with Commerzbank projecting 1.1900 for March 2026, while MUFG sees a target of 1.1800 for the same period. These positions suggest support for UOB’s analysis of key levels, contrasting with Citi's more cautious target of 1.1300 (source: /reports/citi).
What the data shows
Recent forecast revisions indicate that MUFG has adjusted its Mar26 target higher to 1.1800, while HSBC has revised theirs to 1.1700, signaling a potential bullish shift. Notably, our published research underscores a significant divergence, with EUR/USD trading 4.74% below the December 2026 consensus of 1.20 (/research/eurusd-ecb-rate-path).
