Sign InAmid shifting monetary policy expectations, Bank of America has released a long-term forecast for the EUR/USD pair suggesting near-term weakness followed by a structural recovery. According to reports, analysts at the bank project the Euro to slide against the US Dollar to 1.12 in the third quarter of this year. This dip is expected to be temporary, with the pair eventually rebounding to reach 1.15 by the end of 2026.
This outlook aligns with a growing institutional consensus, as peers like Rabobank have recently issued similar projections regarding Euro volatility. Per market data, the 1.15 target represents a significant historical level for the pair, while the anticipated drop to 1.12 reflects ongoing growth differentials and yield advantages currently favoring the Greenback. Institutional sentiment remains mixed as markets weigh the timing of potential rate cuts by both the Fed and the ECB.
Looking ahead, traders are focusing on inflation dynamics and central bank rhetoric as primary catalysts. Recent data from July 14, 2026, showed US Annual CPI at 3.5%, coming in lower than the 3.8% forecast, while Core Inflation stood at 2.6%. These figures, combined with upcoming central bank commentary, will be pivotal in determining whether the EUR/USD pair follows the downward trajectory toward 1.12 as predicted by BofA analysts.
