1. Forex Market Insight     

EUR/USD  

The euro oscillated broadly against the dollar on Tuesday 7^th February 2023, falling to a near one-month low of 1.0669 during the session, rising to 1.0766 after Powell’s speech and closing at 1.0727, close to a close, or about 0.03%. 

The ECB may try to correct the market’s dovish interpretation of the February rate decision and statement, which may attract euro buying, but euro confidence is likely to remain low ahead of next week’s U.S. CPI release. The longer-term trend for the euro remains tilted to the upside against the dollar due to its own improving terms of trade, a boost in Chinese growth, a narrowing of the Fed/ECB policy spread and attractive valuations. 

The main downside risks lie in a new Russian offensive against Ukraine, a further deterioration in relations between Russia and the West and disruptions in European energy supplies.
