USDEUR Monthly Seasonal Pattern Since 1947
The green bar on the chart at upper right on the previous page highlights February as being, by far, the seasonally weakest month of the year for the US Dollar versus the euro (formerly German Mark) based on data since 1947. Like USCHF, February represents a sharp one-month seasonal decline from a strong January that leads into a March rebound.
The depth of the green bar shows that, on average since 1947, the US Dollar has underperformed the euro by 2.31% in February. The red line shows that, also on average since 1977, USDEUR has posted a negative February close 64% of the time, its highest incidence of a negative close for any month during this period.
