“EUR growth hardly sets the world alight either and ECB staff are sure to revise prospects lower in their Sep projections, but the negative Q2 US growth surprise along with downward revisions showing just 1% average US growth in the last 3 quarters will prove the bigger theme, dealing a nearly fatal blow to Sep FOMC tightening hopes. EUR can trade to 1.14-1.15 near term”.
