US dollar heading to 2018 lows - a podcast by Phil Dobbie

Wednesday 19th May 2021

It’s been a mixed session for US equities overnight, whilst bonds headed sideways. The main move has been the further decline in the US dollar, falling below 90 on the DXY index for the first time since January and not far from the lows of 2018. NAB’s Gavin Friend says the move down is being driven by the reopening in Europe ,without the US labour market volatility, plus the fall in real yields. Also on today’s podcast, discussion on yesterday’s RBA minutes, tomorrow’s FOMC minutes and whether a US-Iran nuclear will add a sizeable chunk of extra oil on the global markets.
