1. Forex Market Insight    

EUR/USD  

EUR/USD closed up 0.22% on Tuesday, 9^th August 2022, at 1.0212. The risk of recession still limits the euro’s upside.  

Analysts believe that the eurozone recession may be difficult to avoid. Even some experts predict that the eurozone will be the latest technical recession in the first quarter of 2023. The dilemma facing the eurozone is not an isolated case. 

Under the influence of global inflation and geopolitical factors, the central banks of the world’s major economies have raised interest rates one after another. While addressing the challenge of inflation, they are also avoiding economic recession. 

However, juggling between these matters is not an easy task. Insiders claim that the central banks of major economies around the world have lagged behind that economic performance situation in raising interest rates.  

If the subsequent market faces greater volatility, the vision of a “soft landing” for the economy will not be easy to achieve.
