MUFG: Elections lead to downside impact

EUR/USD experienced some initial volatility following the announcement of snap elections in France, dropping significantly in the days that followed. However, the currency pair has since stabilized around the 1.0700-level. Derek Halpenny, Head of Research at MUFG, notes that while the current stability is promising, the upcoming week may bring renewed volatility depending on the outcome of the first round of elections on Sunday.

Despite the recent stabilization, there is still potential for a downside move in EUR/USD. Halpenny suggests that there may be a 1.0% risk premium priced into the Euro currently, based on short-term price action and various variables such as spreads. This estimate is considered reasonable given the current circumstances surrounding the elections in France.

The Euro’s risk premium is relatively modest, according to Halpenny, which means that strong performances by certain candidates in the elections could lead to further depreciation of the currency. Halpenny predicts that if RN and NPF candidates perform well, EUR/USD could drop to as low as the 1.0500-level. This indicates that the outcome of the elections will play a significant role in determining the future direction of the currency pair.

Overall, the uncertainty surrounding the French elections is likely to impact EUR/USD in the coming week. Traders and investors will be closely monitoring the results of the first round of elections on Sunday, as this could lead to increased volatility in the currency markets. The Euro’s relatively modest risk premium suggests that there is still potential for further downside movement, depending on the outcome of the elections.

As a result of the upcoming elections, EUR/USD traders should be prepared for potential fluctuations in the currency pair. The current stability around the 1.0700-level may not last, especially if certain candidates perform well in the elections. Halpenny’s analysis highlights the importance of monitoring the political landscape in France and its impact on the Euro, as this will be a key factor influencing EUR/USD in the short term.

In conclusion, the announcement of snap elections in France has led to increased volatility in EUR/USD, with the currency pair initially dropping before stabilizing around the 1.0700-level. However, the potential for a downside move remains depending on the outcome of the upcoming elections. Traders should be prepared for renewed volatility in the coming week, with the possibility of EUR/USD dropping to the 1.0500-level if certain candidates perform well. Monitoring the political landscape in France will be crucial for understanding the future direction of the Euro and its impact on the currency markets.
