An Amundi research note from July 26, 2024 argues that diverging central bank policy rates are unlikely to move exchange rates much. It flags US long-end yields and energy price shocks as the bigger risks for European currencies.
The note frames currency risk around energy shocks rather than rate gaps, which matters for buyers pricing euro-denominated feed costs against dollar benchmarks.
After 129 past neutral macro events, EURUSD moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (45% higher; middle half -0.5% to +0.5%), and +0.1% over 20.
