U.S. Economic Resilience and Dollar Strength
The recent strength in the U.S. economy is reflected in rising yields and optimistic payroll data, contributing to a bullish outlook for the dollar. Market participants have started to adjust their expectations, now anticipating only a limited number of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve over the next two years. The implications of potential tariffs are looming, but current resilience in U.S. data suggests that any negative impacts may not be immediately felt. However, analysts are cautious about how long this strength can be maintained, as a decline could pose risks to the dollar's strength down the line.
