Forex Flash: Sell EUR/USD down to 1.35 on QE2 end - HSBC

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - "With the end of QE2, we would argue it's Dollar-positive. But if the analysis is right that it does hurt US growth, it'll hurt risk assets. It might cause a small wobble in emerging markets. People will look for safety; Swissie first, Nokkie as well, but they'll like the Dollar again. So a short term rally in the Dollar with the end of QE2 is favoured. I'd be selling Euro-Dollar down to 1.35" quoted David Bloom, Global Head of FX Strategy at HSBC in a Reuters Insider interview.
