Societe Generale strategists note that the ECB's hawkish rhetoric has failed to lift the Euro as markets focus on the Federal Reserve's more aggressive tightening cycle. The US Dollar benefits from higher yields and a stronger economic outlook, limiting Euro gains. This dynamic keeps EUR/USD trapped in a narrow range.
The Eurozone faces headwinds from energy dependence and slowing growth, which dampen the impact of ECB rate hikes. Meanwhile, the US economy shows resilience, supporting the Dollar's safe-haven appeal. Until Eurozone data improves, the Euro may struggle to sustain any rally.
Technical analysis shows EUR/USD testing key support levels near 1. 05, with a break lower opening the door to parity. Resistance at 1.
