TD Securities analysts Jayati Bharadwaj and Howard Du expect the US Dollar to maintain strength as rising yields and hawkish Federal Reserve policy expectations outpace other central banks. The firm anticipates the USD/CAD pair will retest its year-to-date high of 1.43, while EUR/USD faces further downside pressure toward the sub-1.10 level following a breakout below 1.11.
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.
- ▲ 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
- ▼ 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
