Many different currencies are commonly watched by investors, one of those being the EURO exchange rate. To determine the current rate and predictors for rates in the future, people use a variety of exchange rate forecasting tools. The exact type of tool depends if the investor is looking to lock money up short or long-term. Of course, the most important thing is to know the forecasted numbers are accurate so wise and accurate decisions on the investment can be made.
The worst thing an investor could face is making a large investment using bad forecasting EURO numbers but unfortunately, it happens. The thing to remember is that rates change often, which is why a forecasting service is so critical. With the information, investors can be educated about the market, which is what helps them succeed or leads them to failure.
Both the US Dollar and EURO has experienced numerous vicissitudes associated with the current market but using the technical forecasting tool, the market has stayed locked into a multi-day consolidation by 1.4340 from last summer. Remember, the technical forecasting tool is typically associated with investors wanting to lock money in short-term but for long-term investments, a different tool is used.
It still looks as if the EURO forecast for short-term investments is favoring the bearish side. However, for medium terms, most financial experts believe the market will cap out around 1.4340 on the high side and on the low side, somewhere around 1.3750. This is actually good information and looking at the 100-week SMA, the EURO appears to be relatively solid.
It is interesting to look at the EURO exchange rate over the past ten years. During that timeframe, several things have occurred, some that include the following:
• From 1998 until 2001, the EURO took a downward trend with one Euro being equivalent to .75$ USD.
• From 2001 to 2002, the EURO came out a strong leader, making it to the parity by the end of 2002.
• Throughout 2003, the value of the EURO increased, peaking in the fall of 2004 and at the time of the Presidential election, the exchange rate for the EURO reached 1.38.
• Then starting in 2004 and going to 2007, the Euro flattened out, going up and down to the US Dollar anywhere from 1.20 to 1.38
• During the second quarter of 2007, the EURO exchange rate slowed down somewhat but by mid-summer in 2008, it hit a high of 1.604
• Unfortunately, as the recession began to take place, value of the EURO began to decrease, reaching 1.2329
• In December of 2008, the EURO hit what is referred to as the “flat rate period”, although the rate was still averaging 1.24
The thing to remember when it comes to forecasting the EURO is that previously, the US deficit drove the uptrend for exchange but today, the Forex market is quite different. For instance, when the stock exchange falls, the US Dollar becomes stronger but the one question on everyone’s mind is how long do experts believe this trend last.
