FX forecast for May 18

[EUR/USD:] After hitting a four-year low yesterday, the euro gained some stability later in the day and rose slightly, however failing to secure positions above $1.24; currently the euro trades at $1.2350 and there are signs that it could rise today, as well, Financial Brains director PhD Sveatoslav Mihalache has told Info-Prim Neo.

The pessimistic predictions, which said that after the fall of the $1.2330 level the $1.20 mark was imminent, didn’t come true. All the more reason to consider as excessively pessimistic the predictions that the dollar might equal the euro.
