Another set of EUR/USD forecasts from Goldman Sachs

This from Friday:

  • We ... update our forecast to 1.02, 1.00 and 0.95 in 3, 6 and 12 months (from 1.12, 1.10 and 1.08 previously)
  • 0.85 and 0.80 at end­ 2016 and end­ 2017 (from 1.00 and 0.90), respectively
  • We therefore expect more downside in the near term, with the expected removal of "patient" at next week's FOMC a key catalyst
  • In the longer term, we continue to believe that EUR/$US will significantly undershoot our GSDEER measure of fair value (around 1.20), reflecting diverging growth and monetary policy outlooks
