Further out, our base case is that the combination of a generally benign global economic backdrop and a dovish Fed leads to some further US dollar weakness over the next six to twelve months. But given the extent of Fed rate cuts now discounted in money …
26th September 2024
The US dollar has edged higher over the past quarter or so, driven by the twin tailwinds of rising Treasury yields and US equity outperformance. We think these factors may continue to support the greenback over the near term, and the looming prospect of a …

The US dollar has started the year on the front foot as US growth and inflation again surprised to the upside, prompting the Fed to (again) take a more hawkish stance than other major central banks. In our view, a continued rise in US Treasury yields – …

The US dollar has reversed around half of the gains it made from mid-July to end-October amid a sharp fall in US Treasury yields and a general compression of risk premia across markets, leaving the greenback, in aggregate, roughly where it started the …

The US dollar’s record run of 10 consecutive weekly gains has brought it to its strongest level since last December (see Chart 1), and prompted renewed talk of FX intervention in Asia. We think that market participants have now gone too far in discounting …

While the dollar has now reached a 20-year high and looks increasingly overvalued on a long-term basis, we think it will rise further in the near term as the global economy falls into recession and “safe-haven” demand increases further. Even if the FOMC …
2nd November 2022
We think the dollar will appreciate further through at least the end of the year as the global economy continues to falter and “safe-haven” demand remains strong. Although we see limited scope for a further widening of expected interest rate differentials …
4th August 2022
The combination of aggressive tightening from the Fed and worsening risk appetite has driven the dollar to its strongest level, in aggregate, since the early 2000s. While the greenback looks due a pause, we now expect it extend those gains over the coming …
29th April 2022
Although the dollar’s rally has stalled over the past six weeks or so, and may tread water for a while longer, we think that it will ultimately appreciate a bit further this year and next. The key driver of the greenback’s rise since the middle of last …
