DXY View!!The U.S. dollar remains the world’s dominant currency despite nearly constant hand-wringing over its potential demise. And its resilience may be despite, rather than a result of, actions by U.S. officials, a London-based currency strategist argued Thursday.
“Most policymakers consider preserving the value of their currency as an important consideration. To many it can become the paramount consideration when times are tough,” said Steven Barrow, head of G-10 strategy at Standard Bank, in a note.
“But to U.S. policymakers it seems that there is a death wish when it comes to the dollar,” he wrote.
