Deutsche Bank raises euro forecast versus dollar

LONDON (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank (DE:DBKGn) of Thursday raised its forecast for the euro, citing scepticism about the European Central Bank's ability to weaken the currency further with policy and a retreat in expectations for rises in U.S. interest rates.

Along with Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), Deutsche strategists Alan Ruskin and George Saravelos previously led the way among bank analysts in forecasting a fall in the euro below parity with the dollar, but have steadily pushed back those forecasts.
