David asks “Can anyone explain why the Euro is still rising in value against US dollar, nonstop? When this will end?”
Hi David, this was expected, at least at this end. Rather than play the Euro which I do not like for numerous reasons, I have been long the pound.
I went long the pound on October 7, after the pound’s big Brexit crash. Peter Atwater had this pertinent Tweet on sentiment about a month earlier.
I believe that “like” was mine.
I am not sure when I first mentioned being long the pound but I commented on it on December 14, 2016 in Saxo Bank CIO Bets on Weaker Dollar, Cites Blowout Equity Bubble.
Both FXStreet and Investing.Com have good chart tools.

I did not catch the low, more like 1.23 or 1.24. The trade went nowhere for six months. The Beginning of January 2017 was still an excellent time to buy the pound.
Why is the Euro Still Rising?
- ECB’s moves are in front of it. Think expectations.
- The Fed’s moves are largely behind it. How many hikes will the Fed get in vs promises and expectations?
- The Trump reflation bet is over. Expectations were high but there was no healthcare bill and tax reform is questionable at best.
- Growth in Europe has been better than expected.
When Will Dollar Rise Stop?
A snapback could happen at any time especially given structural flaws in the euro and the banking mess in the EU. Eurozone risks are high and rising and the Euro is 62% of the dollar index.
However, currency trends are very sticky. Look how high the dollar index rose.
We are all guessing, but I would rather take my chances with the pound than a bet either way on the Euro.

A lot of new dads have the added stress of not having their wives’ or girlfriends’ wage coming in each month, due to the temporary career change in being a full time mum of a baby. So having some content around how they can make a few extra “Ps” in their wallet each month, can ease the burden somewhat. https://jkey.us/

I’m really interested in seeing information like this. I totally agree with Larry that trading through currency is very tricky. Nevertheless, many people are still into this investment or trading. http://westminsterepoxyflooring.com/
Trading on currencies is very tricky. That’s why I’m having doubts to invest and trade on that section. Anyway, thanks for sharing this and just in case I’d change my mind and I’ll go with your recommendation. https://www.exigobusiness.com/
I didn’t even realize the Euro was making such a huge move! I continue to say, things as we know it have changed permanently… but if we play our cards right as business owners, we can come out on top! Shop local for products AND services!
We run two businesses, a landscaping business in Edinburg, TX that is booming right now.
And a retail technology company that has clients that are global!

Dear Mish, incredible writing I should say. A topic that most of us readers have been pondering upon in the recent past. Honestly with the present virus pandemic no one can say the real situation of the real situation of the currency. Thank you for discussing your perspective on why Euro is still rising and amongst all discussions I found yours more credible.
