Fundamentally, the historical experience from valuation frameworks suggests that euro valuations are not yet a constraint for further strengthening. On long-term valuation metrics, even though the euro has strengthened by 15% in TWI terms since the post-QE bottom, historical experience from other major currencies where markets perceived an impending end of QE programs showed a larger, 26% strengthening in TWI on average.
