The US Dollar remains broadly stable in the foreign exchange market at the start of the week. Economists at MUFG Bank analyze Greenback’s outlook.
The 10-year yield remains close to the 5.00% level and hence risk appetite will likely remain fragile given the challenge for risk assets on a further move higher in US yields.
Q3 GDP from the US will be released this week and the rate of growth is expected to accelerate from the 2.1% QoQ SAAR in Q2 to 4.1% in Q3. With a notable slowdown in GDP growth expected in Q4, a figure closer to 5.0% would likely be needed to prompt a notable move higher for yields and the Dollar.
