GRONGHUI, May 3 | Foreign exchange strategists surveyed by Reuters believe that if the policies of the Federal Reserve and other major central banks disagree, the US dollar will rebound strongly in the next few months, and may even be stronger than expected. The US dollar has recovered from its slump at the end of 2023, and has calmly escaped the forecast of decline seen in many Reuters surveys over the past year. The US dollar index has risen 4.3% this year. According to a Reuters survey, 42 out of 58 foreign exchange strategists (close to 75%) believe that the US dollar is also more likely to appreciate in the next three months than it will depreciate. Paul Mackel, global head of foreign exchange research at HSBC, said we are still convinced that a strong dollar will continue. As can be clearly seen from economic activity data and more sticky inflation, a strong US economy will make it difficult for the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates.
