Key Quotes
“We continue to expect the US dollar to strengthen further as the Fed begins to raise interest rates before year end”.
“Even a gradual pace of Fed tightening would appear relatively hawkish in contrast to increasingly negative developments overseas”.
“Short-term yield spreads are likely to continue moving in the US dollar’s favour offering support for a stronger US dollar. As a result the modest setback for the US dollar overnight is likely to prove short-lived”.
