EUR/USD’s fair value has declined from 1.0517 to 1.0460 on the back of a renewed widening of peripheral bond yield spread to Bunds and a further dip of the EUR-USD rate spread deeper into negative territory. The moves reflected growing political risks in Italy as well as persistent worries about the Eurozone growth outlook that could complicate the ECB’s policy normalisation plans. Despite the latest dip in its short[1]term fair value, EUR/USD remains more than two standard deviations undervalued. Subsequently, the FAST FX model has triggered a buy EUR/USD trade with a stop-loss of -2.55% and a take-profit level of 1.0460.
