FxWirePro- Gold Daily Outlook 
While not quite as rare as hens’ teeth, upgrades to our EURUSD forecasts have been few and far between; the last occurred as far back as February 2018. The timing then wasn’t particularly opportune - February 18 marked the start of a two-year, 15% bear market in EUR – and we trust that this won’t serve as a precedent given the material re-think of at least the levels, if not the direction, of our EURUSD forecasts this month.
On a nutshell, we are raising the projections for the next two quarters by 5% (end-2020 from 1.06 to 1.10) and the 1Y forecast by 3% from 1.06 to 1.09. The risk bias is also upgraded from bearish to neutral or less bearish.
In part these forecast revisions are a mark-to-market exercise after the two-sigma bounce in EURUSD over the past month. But of course, exchange rate adjustments of such magnitudes rarely occur without a material fundamental pretext, even though technical factors such as positioning can certainly amplify the scale of the moves, as we believe they have done with EURUSD through the unwind of multi-year investor overweights in USD/underweights in EUR following the collapse in USD interest rate spreads (refer above chart).
