1034 GMT - EUR/USD has performed well recently and could remain resilient, says Generali Investments in a note. A nascent recovery of the eurozone economy, even if shallow, will contrast with a U.S. slowdown, the asset manager says, adding that largely synchronized European Central Bank and Federal Reserve rate cuts over the second half of the year will lower rates uncertainty and erode dollar support. "Despite near-term volatility, the transatlantic yield gap is set to narrow medium term as we expect the total amount of U.S. rate cuts over the next two years to exceed the ECB's easing," it says. Speculative long positions in the U.S. dollar have soared recently, leaving them--and the dollar--vulnerable to a setback. EUR/USD trades steady at 1.0832. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
