The main outcome of the European Central Bank’s meeting clarified the timing of the monetary easing cycle. The first interest rate cut is planned for June. Overall, this aligns with market expectations, so the euro did not sharply drop. Especially considering that the single currency is already significantly oversold locally. Nevertheless, the dollar will gradually strengthen in the medium term. Of course, there will be various corrections and stagnant periods along this path, but ultimately, the dollar will come closer to parity. Speaking of corrections, this will likely happen today, both due to the overbought nature of the US currency and the empty economic calendar.
