EUR/USD correction will end sooner or later

Power lies in truth. And the truth is that the stronger the U.S. economy appears, the worse for the dollar in the medium term. Americans will absorb European and Chinese exports and help the world economy get back on its feet. This is excellent news for pro-cyclical currencies, including the euro. EUR/USD will rise. It just needs to give the main currency pair some time.

At first glance, dollar enthusiasts have nothing to worry about. The leading indicator from the Atlanta Fed is projecting a 5.8% growth in U.S. GDP in the third quarter, the best economic growth in the last 20 years if we exclude the post-pandemic recovery period. Most likely, such figures mean that nothing terrible will happen to the U.S. in 2024. However, this should not mislead the 'bears' in the EUR/USD market.

Dynamics of the American economy

In August, the U.S. dollar proved to be more resilient than one might have assumed, given the weaknesses of its main competitors. The Eurozone continues to teeter on the brink of recession, and rising gas prices bring back the specter of an energy crisis in the Old World. China is probably the biggest disappointment of 2023. Its economy is recovering from COVID-19 much slower than expected. The rate cut by the People's Bank of China leads to a weakening of the yuan and is perceived as panic within chinese officials.

However, this won't last forever. Thanks to the strength of the U.S., both the currency bloc and China will rise again. Moreover, the emerging Goldilocks regime will lead to an increase in American stock indices and improve the global risk appetite.

According to nearly 70% of those surveyed by the National Association for Business Economics, the Federal Reserve will be able to bring inflation down to the 2% target without causing a recession. In March, only 30% thought so. Three out of four respondents see PCE at around 3% by year-end. Inflation slowdown amid rapid economic growth creates a favorable backdrop for American stocks. The resumption of the upward trend in the S&P 500 is key to the rise of EUR/USD.

According to BNY Mellon Investment Management, the ECB will raise the deposit rate to 4% in September and probably bring it to 4.25% amid sticky inflation in the services sector and high wage growth rates, contradicting market consensus. Investors believe that the cycle of monetary policy tightening is over. If the company is right, EUR/USD should rise.

Thus, the risks of restoring an upward trend in the primary currency pair are quite significant. The question is how much time it will take. How soon will the euro find its bottom? Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's speech at Jackson Hole may provide a clue.

Technically, the 'bulls' in the EUR/USD are trying to play a doji bar at the lower boundary of the fair value range of 1.086-1.111 and switch to counterattack. Meanwhile, the pair's rise above 1.091 may serve as a basis for short-term long positions.
