It's turning into a big day in Europe despite moves from the US that make April 2 tariffs in the EU much more likely. The pound has also risen sharply and is making fresh session highs.
Deutsche Bank was out with a note today highlighting their surprise at the weakness in the US dollar this year in light of the risk off environment and huge uncertainty in the global economy.
They highlight two reasons:
1) The US fiscal stance is tightening. They highlight that lower US spending along with tariffs are bullish for bonds and indicate a slowing economy, something that we're starting to see in the data.
2) The US dollar losing its safe-haven status.
I'll quote this directly:
We do not write this lightly. But the speed and scale of global shifts is so rapid that this needs to be acknowledged as a possibility. We highlight a few developments since the start of the year providing tentative signs in this direction. First, the declining correlation between the US dollar and risk assets which has been at the core of portfolio construction for many real money investors over the last decade. Second, the unusual and simultaneous outperformance of both high and low beta currencies, with the common denominator being cheap valuations versus the USD. Third, the stark relative underperformance of US risky asset valuations versus the rest of the world going back three decades despite highly elevated global uncertainty. Fourth, the US current account deficit breaching the 4% threshold in recent months which has historically marked the limits of dollar overvaluation.That's a big theme to think about and I think it's strongly worth considering given the look of today's EUR and GBP charts. Of course, I wouldn't underestimate the huge spending proposals from Germany today as a European catalyst.
