MUFG says the euro is gaining support from delayed ECB rate-cut expectations, easing European natural gas prices, and improving sentiment over China's economy after fresh stimulus. The bank expects Eurozone growth to pick up in the second half of 2024.
Lower European gas prices and firmer Chinese demand sentiment modestly support industrial and feed demand, though the effect on grain and oilseed prices is indirect.
