EUR/USD - COMMENT-EUR/USD Parity Beckons If ECB, Fed Diverge On Trump

By Rob Howard  —  Nov 07 - 05:35 AM

Nov 7 (Reuters) - The probability of EUR/USD falling to 1.00 for the first time since November 2022 will increase if the European Central Bank cuts interest rates much more aggressively than the Federal Reserve once Donald Trump is back in the White House.

Deutsche Bank has lowered its forecast for the ECB's terminal rate to 1.5%, in part due to the prospect of U.S. tariffs under Trump and the risk of below-target euro zone inflation.

In contrast, the received wisdom is that Trump's promised tariffs might reverse the slowdown in U.S. inflation and put the Fed on a shorter and shallower rate cut path next year than if Kamala Harris had won the presidency.

Trump will be inaugurated on Jan.
20 - nine days before the Fed's first rate decision of 2025.

The ECB is expected to cut its deposit rate by 25 bps to 3.0% next month (Dec.
12).
The ECB's first rate announcement of 2025 is scheduled for Jan.
30.
