SOCIETE GENERALE

Societe Generale: EURUSD is Expected to Fall Next Month Unless Data is Favorable.

August 9, the euro is likely to fall against the dollar in September as investors cut large long euro positions, said Kit Juckes, foreign exchange strategist at Societe Generale, in a report. The difference between two-year Treasury yields and expectations for growth in the Eurozone and the United States suggest that the euro against the dollar today at the level should have been a little lower than it is now. One explanation for this is the existence of a large and committed long-term long euro-dollar position, which is likely to continue for some time, keeping the euro stable against the dollar. However, come September, unless economic data and expectations for Fed and ECB policy favor the euro, we will see a capitulation of long euro positions.

【MUFG: Japan's First Trade Surplus in Nearly Two Years, Which is Expected to Support the Yen】

August 10, MUFG said that over time, Japan's shift to a trade surplus will become a "key" factor in supporting the yen exchange rate. Earlier this week, Japan released data showing that the country's first trade surplus since October 2021, the size of the largest since July 2021, too. Derek Halpenny, head of global market research for Europe at MUFG, noted that "the fading of the negative energy price shock is a crucial fundamental shift for the yen." As Japan's energy supply is mostly dependent on imports, last year's energy price spike on the yen exchange rate and Japan's current account pressure, but in the wake of a sharp decline in natural gas imports, the corresponding pressure has ceased to exist, which means that the dollar against the yen to further higher space or has been limited.
