HALISTER1: Euro Bulls See Through Draghi’s ‘Ultra-Dovish’ Rhetoric: Allianz

Euro Bulls See Through Draghi’s ‘Ultra-Dovish’ Rhetoric: Allianz

(Bloomberg) -- EUR/USD will probably strengthen further as investors look past ECB President Mario Draghi’s comments, says Charlie Ripley, investment strategist for Allianz Investment Management, which manages more than $700 billion.
  • “Investors are starting to question the continued rhetoric from Draghi about being ultra-dovish” and speculating about when the ECB will announce tapering, Ripley says 
    • “This scenario is going to put continued upward pressure on EUR/USD”
  • Expects EUR/USD to break out of current range with 1.16 as upper bound
  • Sees 10-year Treasury yield target of 2.50%-3% by year-end; continued central bank action around the globe will push rates higher
  • Markets “underestimating the risk” of unwinding QE globally, Ripley says
