The euro was still well above $ 1.22 on Wednesday, but Rabobank estimates that the higher potential for the European currency is limited.
“We think the dollar is preparing for a correction after the recent declines”, Rabobank analyst told ABM Financial News on Wednesday. “Should the minutes of the Federal Reserve provide insight into an internal discussion on inflation risks and possible consequences for monetary policy, it is likely that this will give a reaction in the dollar rate”.
After the minutes, attention in the foreign exchange markets shifts to next Friday’s purchasing manager indices. “These should show a further recovery of the industrial and service sectors of the various countries,” said the market analyst, who advised to be alert to the increasing coronavirus infections in Asia, such as Taiwan.
