US dollar strength to persist globally
The macro case for a stronger US dollar is supported by a hawkish Federal Reserve, superior US economic growth, and trend-following CTA models flipping long.
The argument
The guest argued that the US economy is outperforming other major economies and that the Fed may need to keep rates higher or even hike. This rate differential, combined with strong equity performance, creates a multi-phase dollar strength that is beginning to pressure emerging markets and G10 currencies.
The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓DXY reaching the guest's target of 103
- ✓CTAs and trend-following models increasing net-long dollar positions
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸A sudden dovish pivot by the Federal Reserve
- ▸Sharp economic slowdown in high-frequency US growth indicators
Hear it yourself
"The second thing is US economy has been quite strong coming into twenty twenty six, and it's picking up further strength into twenty twenty into the second quarter of twenty twenty six."
