Is US dollar weakness inevitable?

The desk posits that the trajectory of the US dollar is increasingly vulnerable to structural weakness, driven by potential Federal Reserve rate cuts and evolving global trade dynamics. Per the full note from Standard Chartered, the interplay of these factors suggests a shift in market sentiment that could favor emerging market currencies over the dollar.

Dollar to Weaken in 2026 on Trump's Fed Influence: Commerzbank - Pound Sterling LIVE

The desk sees the U.S. dollar weakening in 2026, influenced significantly by Trump's potential impact on Federal Reserve policies. Per the full note from Commerzbank, this anticipated decline appears tied to a predicted shift in monetary policy direction, stemming from Trump's likely return to political prominence. Should this scenario play out, it may drive investor sentiment toward replacing dollar holdings with alternative currencies, risking a broader reallocation of capital flows. The central bank's focus may shift from tight monetary conditions to an accommodating stance that could spur inflation, thereby undermining the dollar's strength.
