TD Securities' FX team argues the Dollar stays resilient until Fed hawkishness peaks, supported by stronger US data and rising yields, with the market pricing the Fed out-hiking other major central banks in the coming months. This is a bank's view, not new data, so the move is supportive but not a hard catalyst. The fading USD-equity risk-off correlation is a mild counterpoint.

Catalysts
  • ▲ TD Securities sees rising US yields providing upward momentum for the USD
  • ▲ Expectation that the Fed can out-hike other major central banks in the coming months
Risk Factors
  • ▼ The USD's role as an equity risk-off haven has declined per the falling correlation with US equities
  • ▼ Resilience expected only until peak Fed hawkishness, implying eventual limits

The break below 1.11 has opened the door for more downside toward the sub-1.10 range according to TD Securities, which closed its EURUSD risk reversal position as downside prospects increased. The Fed out-hiking the ECB narrative weighs on the pair. As an analyst forecast, it supports the bearish bias but is not a confirmed event.

Catalysts
  • ▼ Breakout below 1.11 in EURUSD seen opening the door to further downside
  • ▼ TD Securities closed its EURUSD risk reversal position as sub-1.10 prospects increased
Risk Factors
  • ▲ The call is conditional on the USD staying resilient until peak Fed hawkishness
  • ▲ No new eurozone data in the article to independently confirm the downside path
USD/CAD
Bullish 🤖 60%
📅 Short-term 🌍 CA · Explicit

TD Securities expects USDCAD to retest the year-to-date high at 1.43 in the near term, as weak Canadian data weighs on near-term Bank of Canada rate hike likelihood relative to the Fed. A retest of a YTD high implies further pair upside. The view depends on the Fed remaining hawkish versus a dovish-leaning BoC.

Catalysts
  • ▲ Weak Canadian data reducing near-term BoC rate hike likelihood relative to the Fed
  • ▲ Pair expected to retest the year-to-date high at 1.43
Risk Factors
  • ▼ The bullish call rests on the Fed staying hawkish; a shift in Fed expectations would undermine it
  • ▼ No specific Canadian figures are cited to quantify the data weakness
