Germany's BdB private banking group's General Manager Michael Kemmer comments:

  • Says the EUR/USD rate is more to do with US dollar strength than euro weakness
  • Reflects investor expectations regarding US ecnomic growth and the direction of interest rates
  • Adds that the risks assicated with European Central Bank QE outweigh benefits
  • Euro-are low inflation is reflection of energy prices, not a slip into deflation
