Moderate USD strength in the medium term – HSBC

HSBC economists expect the US Dollar (USD) to strengthen modestly over the medium term.

A less aggressive easing path could weaken risk appetite, supporting the USD

Our medium-term expectations remain for modest USD strength, especially against the EUR and GBP. This is based on the continued outperformance of the US economy relative to many of the other G10 economies, and US bond yields remaining higher than those of most other G10 economies.

Furthermore, we do not expect the collective easing of the G10 central banks to live up to the markets' moderate expectations. A less aggressive easing path could weaken risk appetite, which would support the dollar.

Finally, should other G10 central banks adopt a pivotal stance, their currencies are likely to come under downward pressure.
