MELL – The market doesn’t really know what to make of EUR-USD at the present time. With much of yesterday’s angst emanating from concerns about the sub-prime mortgage market in the US, there is the inevitable suspicion that EUR-USD should rise. However, there are two reasons why this should not necessarily be the case. First of all, the market is already long of EUR-USD according to IMM positioning and such positions could easily be liquidated in an environment where risk appetites in general are being reined in. Second, if money is taken out of markets globally, much of it will flow back in to the USD investor base and this will be USD supportive. On this reasoning, there is some degree of downside risk for EUR-USD.
