The US Treasury scared investors, but the worst is yet to come

17.02.2021

On the eve, the euro showed growth on the positive statistics on GDP in the eurozone, but the actions of the US Treasury to place bonds in the amount of $63.1 billion interrupted the trend. I would like to note that the next substantial auction by the Ministry of Finance is scheduled for March 1, when the Treasury will place securities for $139 billion.

Therefore, the euro has a week and a half to demonstrate the growth of quotations. I would like to note that in March the Ministry of Finance will raise $412.9 billion through the bond issue, which is 2 times more than in February and 6 times more than in January. Therefore, in March, especially in the second half, I expect a decline in the quotes of this currency pair, and before a strong fall, the market is usually “driven” to maximum.

Investment idea: Buy 1.2082/1.2060 and take profit 1.2168.
