Tech stocks enter November after a brutal October: Is it time to buy the dip?
As tech stocks struggle to recover from October's steep losses, market sentiment has shifted towards cautious optimism regarding a potential buy-the-dip opportunity. The underlying narrative now centers on the durability of AI-driven trade dynamics, which remain in flux as analysts question recent performances. With both the stock and bond markets reflecting skepticism, forex traders will need to closely monitor market reactions to earnings reports and economic indicators that may influence future volatility in currency pairs.
Where it sits in our coverage
Our consensus EUR/USD target sits at 1.075 (median across 8 firms), with Goldman at the upper bound (1.12) and BofA at the lower (1.04).

How firms align
JPMorgan aligns with Marketwatch's cautious view, projecting a target of 1.10 for EUR/USD, suggesting a more optimistic outlook amid uncertainty. Conversely, BofA maintains a more bearish stance at 1.04, indicating a possible decline in investor sentiment that could pressure the Euro against the dollar. Their perspectives highlight the divergence in market sentiment among major firms.
