updates: The US dollar's strength is buoyed by the strong US economy, frustrating investors who had bet on a weakening dollar. The dollar index is up 2.4% year-to-date, and the lack of evidence of economic improvement in Europe and China has caused investors to change their outlook on the dollar.

Version 0.5 (2024-03-05 11:25:41.082000)

updates: The US dollar continues to strengthen, defying expectations of a weakening trend. The dollar index has surged 2.4% year-to-date, driven by the outperformance of the US economy compared to its global counterparts. The lack of evidence of economic recovery in Europe and China has shifted sentiment towards the dollar. U.S. gross domestic product grew at a 3.2% annualized rate in the fourth quarter, while the eurozone's economy stagnated and China faces a deepening property crisis. Japan unexpectedly slipped into recession at the end of 2023. Some analysts maintain a bearish outlook on the dollar, while others anticipate further strength if Donald Trump gains momentum in the presidential reelection race. Trump's proposed tariff increases could prompt the Fed to adopt a tightening bias on monetary policy. Scepticism persists regarding renewed bearish bets against the dollar. The US Dollar Index is up 2.8% for the year as of Friday morning, strengthening after a bumpy 2023. Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated that interest rate cuts are unlikely to begin in March, contrary to investor expectations. Piping hot economic data, such as the addition of 353,000 jobs in January and a 3.4% annual rise in the Consumer Price Index in December, supports the notion that the Fed will keep rates higher for longer. A stronger dollar means that US companies and consumers could spend less for imported goods, and Americans' purchasing power increases when traveling abroad.

While the median forecast among currency strategists is for the dollar to weaken over the rest of the year, some 80% believed there was a risk of the dollar exceeding their target. Others see more reasons for dollar strength, especially if former U.S. President Donald Trump gains the upper hand in a presidential reelection race. Analysts at Capital Economics wrote that Trump’s proposed tariff increases could shift the Fed back to a tightening bias on monetary policy and set off a wider trade war that spurs safe haven demand for the U.S. currency.

The dollar's strength could impact US multinationals and complicate other central banks' efforts to fight inflation.
