Forex Flash: Substantial further EUR/AUD decline ahead - Westpac

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - According to Westpac FX strategist Sean Callow, political unrest in the Eurozone should weigh on the EUR/USD multi-week while AUD/USD maintains a broad range, "leaving EUR/AUD biased to further decline near term."

Sean adds: "EUR/AUD 1.2350 is the next target but Nov’s 1.22 lows are probably just out of reach so long as Australia’s domestic outlook is soft enough to keep the RBA warning of further monetary easing. The ECB’s bond market backstop plan also argues against substantial further EUR/AUD decline."
