The post Euro: Sideways trading outlook against US Dollar – Rabobank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. RaboResearch Global Economics & Markets discusses how Euro sentiment has cooled after optimism around Germany’s debt brake, with political risks and structural headwinds weighing on the currency. The bank notes EUR/USD is already priced for another ECB hike and expects sideways trading near current levels in the coming months, with only a modest upward bias further out. Euro sentiment cools after 2025 surge “While higher short-term interest rates are currency supportive, the market is already fully priced for another ECB rate hike this year, suggesting that one more policy move is unlikely to offer much support for the EUR. On balance, we expect EUR/USD to trade sideways close to current levels on a 1-to-3-month view.” “Irrespective of this, it is worth noting that the EUR was the second best performing G10 currency in Q2 2025 after the safe haven CHF.

The post Mexican Peso: Gains seen limited against US Dollar – Commerzbank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Commerzbank’s Michael Pfister observes that markets expect substantial tightening by Banxico over the next year, but he questions whether conditions justify 75 basis points of hikes. With Mexican inflation near 3.5–4% and the real economy having contracted on weak investment and higher imports, he sees little need for higher rates and therefore limited upside for the Mexican Peso (MXN) versus the US Dollar (USD). Banxico tightening bets questioned “A look at interest rate expectations in North and South America reveals that the Mexican central bank is expected to implement some of the most significant tightening measures over the next 12 months. This expectation has certainly been bolstered by Banxico’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged at the end of June, having cut them twice by 25 basis points each since the start of the war in Iran despite higher global energy pri
