German Mar current account surplus at EUR 32.4 bln is 4th biggest on record
As energy prices have slumped c/a has swung hugely nL1N3790JE
Surplus just 0.5 bln in Aug 2022
Turn has supported a EUR/USD rise since September when traders were short
Growth of surplus will help support EUR/USD now traders are long
Weight of longs is significant and a rapid rise isn't likely
It's more likely that ranges rise from 1.05-10 towards 1.07-12 nL1N3790CK
