The appreciation of the trade-weighted US Dollar Index (DXY) has stalled over the past month. Economists at the National Bank of Canada analyze USD outlook.
A soft landing for the US economy would imply a weaker USD going forward
If you believe, as the Fed does, that a soft landing for the economy is on the horizon, this scenario would imply a weaker USD going forward. This is not our forecast.
In our view, the US Dollar is likely to strengthen on fears of a global recession and renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which will drive safe-haven demand until the Fed is able to pivot and announce an easing of monetary policy.
