1. Forex Market Insight     

EUR/USD  

The euro fell 0.44% to $1.0339, after rising to 1.0496 earlier in the session, a nearly five-month high. 

The euro zone faces different economic challenges than the United States. Supply-side shocks have laid the groundwork for a prolonged period of high inflation and sluggish growth. A recession seems inevitable, with eurozone GDP expected to fall 0.9% in 2023 before stagnating in 2024. 

Rising inflationary pressures, combined with the risk of runaway inflation expectations, will keep the ECB firmly in tightening mode. interest rates may be cut in 2024, but uncertainty remains high. 

Europe’s greatest vulnerability comes from geopolitics, and a renewed energy crisis or a new winter epidemic of new crowns. The epidemic-related private savings cushion, fiscal measures and accelerated investment spending pose upside risks to the growth outlook. 

“Stagflation” is not necessarily the new normal, but structural reforms to address low productivity and unfavorable demographic trends, as well as staying ahead in the green transition race, remain key.

The British pound fell 1.02% against the U.S. dollar on Monday 28^th November 2022 to close at 1.1960. The U.K.’s third-quarter GDP data marked the official start of the recession, and the economy is likely to weaken further on top of that. 

UK GDP is expected to grow negatively for the fourth consecutive quarter. It will take until the fourth quarter of 2023 for positive growth to return. The unemployment rate will rise to 5% by the end of the forecast period. 

Mortgage rates will be pushed up by rising central bank rates, and the UK political situation is likely to remain volatile. The housing market has been strong during the epidemic, but house prices are expected to fall about 8% from their highs due to rising interest rates and a weakening economy. 

Inflation will remain high during 2023, forcing the Bank of England to raise interest rates further. However, terminal rates are well below market pricing and the first-rate cut is expected to be implemented in 2024.
