Euro Weakness:
The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to maintain a dovish stance, with potential rate cuts extending into 2025 due to weak economic growth and persistent inflation concerns. This, coupled with fragile economic recovery in the Eurozone and political uncertainties in key countries like France and Italy, is likely to keep the Euro under pressure. Weak manufacturing data further adds to the downside risk for the Euro.
Australian Dollar Resilience:
Despite economic challenges, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) maintains a tightening bias, which creates a favorable rate differential compared to the ECB. While weak commodity prices have affected the Australian Dollar (AUD), Australia's export-driven economy, particularly in metals and energy, may provide support if China's economy stabilizes. Additionally, the AUD could benefit from any improvement in global risk sentiment.
