This thread was begun on March 11. On March 16th the Euro bottomed at $1.049 and seems to be recovering since then. There is no sign that it is going to parity.

Should the thread be closed? It seems to be a magnet for wild speculation on any subject.

By 2016 EUR/USD will be probably 0.9.

0.8 is another guess.

EU is continuing their QE.

Heh....just this morning I was considering the trend to "live like Chinamen." This is the new world we live in. Exploding debt in the more developed G8 countries. Exploding debt always has a bad ending.
