Fundamental analysis:
The euro remained volatile around 1.08535 against the U.S. dollar, and raised its forecast for GDP growth in the euro zone this year. It is expected that GDP will grow by 0.2% in 2023, compared with the previous forecast of a contraction of 0.5%. The pessimism eased at the start of the year. Confidence in the euro area's economic outlook has improved in early 2023, especially compared with parts of mid-to-late 2022, when the risk of a deep and prolonged downturn in energy-related economic activity appears high. However, the agency warned against an overly optimistic view of economic growth.
