Neither the tightening rhetoric by the Federal Reserve nor the new forty-year record of inflation in the United States worsened investment sentiment and supported the US currency.
The dollar is in a definite retreat. On paper, positive developments for the currency, such as the continuation of the central bank's shift towards a policy focused on fighting inflation and at the same time cyclical records of price growth (7 % year-on-year), are not becoming incentives to buy the US currency. On the contrary: it is losing value more and more sharply.
The EUR/USD exchange rate appeared above 1.14 for the first time since November. Not only did the quotations leave the multi-week fluctuation range with impetus, but they are also on the verge of breaking the multi-month trend of the US currency strengthening. If this were to happen, there would be room for a further increase of around 2%. This confirms our assumption that the highly inflated expectations of the Federal Reserve will become a burden for the dollar this year, which has exhausted its strengthening potential. We continue to forecast that one euro will cost 1.15 USD at the end of March.
