Brown Brothers Harriman’s (BBH) Elias Haddad experiences EUR/USD is consolidating after a rally pushed by stronger-than-expected Eurozone Q2 GDP at 0.4% quarter-on-quarter. The restoration in Eurozone exercise and above-target inflation reinforce expectations for a European Central Financial institution (ECB) fee hike in September, although Haddad notes present market pricing limits Euro (EUR) upside.
