• The dollar is very stretched in momentum and sentiment terms and, thus, due for a consolidation or brief correction. This is true for all the major and commodity currencies.
  • However, the key cyclical drivers for exchange rates – relative growth trends and interest rate differentials – should remain dollar-supportive this year.
  • Most likely, after a pause, the dollar advance should persist albeit at a more moderate and volatile pace, with some narrowing of the rise: currencies in some healthier, export-driven economies should mildly outperform the dollar.
