Extreme strength in the EUR/USD

The Euro is trading at a rare pricing extreme (according to my metrics and work) compared to the U.S. Dollar, seen for the 7th time in 25 years.

Inversely, the U.S. Dollar is at a monumental low against the EUR.

Europeans should be buying American assets, should they think their capital is either welcomed or will be treated well there…….

Selling Euro strength

Enough for the Euro, for now.


Here are the 5 moments over the past 10 years when the Euro has traded at particular extremes against the U.S. Dollar.

Australia on sale in Euro terms

#AUDEUR The Aussie Dollar is approaching its 8th moment over the past 25 years when it’s trading at extreme lows (across my various metrics) against the Euro.

And so Australian assets are also on sale in EUR terms.

Expect to see European private equity firms scouring through ASX listed securities.

Euro weakness makes for European bargains

In real #currency news, the GBP/EUR looks like running up to the 1.2280 region, but its close enough as it approaches an interim extreme amidst a weak trend.

Time to sell British #Pounds and buy #Euro, in case you are buying an airplane from Airbus…..

Incidentally, the Euro’s weakness against the USD persists, even after it traded at an oversold extreme some 3 weeks ago. This downtrend is exhibiting strength.

Selling Euro / Buying Yen

I think that the ‘fat part’ of the Euro advance against the Yen has been seen.

Today’s price is 157.26

Not to be relied on in isolation but this study below shows the percentages which EUR/JPY is trading above its 200 week moving average……and when combined some other studies, it increases the probability of my belief.

Beyond your standard FX trade (currency conversion) this also means European customers and buyers of Japanese parts, components and product should order and pay for their Japanese products ‘tout suite’.

They should be at their cheapest prices seen in the past 3 years, even when considering Japan’s inflation rate of a ‘mere’ 3.2%.

Fine tuning my sell Euro / buy USD call

2 weeks ago, when the EUR/USD was trading at 1.1060, my view was that it’s good enough’ to sell EUR and buy USD.

The chart below shows a little tuning to this call.

A spurt to 1.1200 (as marked by circles) would see the EUR/USD mean revert upwards to its 200 week moving average, likely register a weekly overbought reading and trade to standard deviations above its rolling weekly mean.

It’s still good enough.

The effect of currencies on income statements

And the corporate effect of what todays earlier currencies post translates to…..

Aussie companies selling products into Europe, the UK and Japan have been seeing weaker receipts, while those selling to U.S. customers or in USD denominated products (commodities) are booking handsome profits on favourable currency differentiation.

Japanese and European assets are considered cheap for holders of Australian Dollars while Americans (and their corporations) may see Australian assets as being ‘on sale.

Expect those respective benefits to wane while these ‘extreme’ currency movements correct and consolidate.

On a side note, the almighty strength of the U.S. Dollar seems to be a surprise……

2 years ago, I wrote this note when I remember reports of the pending death of the U.S. Dollar to be palpable.

Today, there doesn’t seem to be an opposite case against the bullish prospects of the U.S. Dollar.
