Tech stocks have made big V-shaped rebounds five times in 30 months — and now Deutsche Bank forecasts another bounce
Deutsche Bank's latest forecast suggests that tech stocks are primed for another V-shaped recovery amidst investor sentiment that is leaning towards caution. This follows historical patterns where rapid rebounds have occurred after periods of underperformance. Given the current market conditions, this timing is critical as it could signal renewed interest in a sector previously deemed overvalued. As positioning becomes more attractive, the implications for currency markets could be significant, especially for those currencies tied to tech-heavy economies.
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). Deutsche Bank's call aligns with the view that the tech sector could bolster economic recovery, influencing the Euro as it responds to shifts in investor sentiment towards riskier assets.
How firms align
In line with Deutsche Bank's optimistic outlook, JPMorgan is positioned at 1.10, suggesting alignment with the expectation of recovery in tech equities. Conversely, BofA remains skeptical, targeting a lower 1.04, reflecting concerns over prolonged market volatility.
