Key Quotes
“We project that divergence of monetary policies will drive EUR/USD to parity by the end of the year. We expect the first Fed rate hike in September. Persistently low Eurozone inflation suggests to us that it is more likely than not that ECB QE will continue even after September 2016. The Greek crisis poses downside EUR risks in the short term.”
