EUR/USD has pulled up to 1.38 handle

FXStreet (Guatemala) - EUR/USD is pulling back up towards the 1.38 handle after a long grind and slow drift from above 1.3820 on yesterdays business.

EUR/USD has been a slow burner of late post the dramatics of Mr Fat Fingers at the start of the week. The pair seems anchored to the 1.38 mark currently but some are calling for a lower Euro. Kit Juckes, Global Head of Currency Strategy at Societe Generale explained that he suspects that the ECB can drive 2-year rates back to 0.35%, driving the EUR down by 1%. However, he added, “On the other hand, I suspect that any boost to QE might extend the risk rally in Europe, helping peripheral spreads and equities, Which is Euro-positive.
