ING forecasts a short-term decline for the US Dollar Index toward 101.0, citing reduced haven appeal as tech-led stock market volatility persists across global markets.
ING analyst Francesco Pesole suggests that the DXY index faces downward pressure, with a potential revisit to the 101.0 level in the coming weeks. This outlook is driven by the interplay between tech-led stock market instability and the resulting decline in front-end US interest rates, which diminishes the Dollar's relative strength against other G10 currencies.

The US Dollar's status as a safe-haven asset is currently being challenged by AI-driven equity volatility, leading to a softening of its appeal. While the currency may lag behind other G10 peers if tech-sector instability continues, ING maintains that this is not necessarily the beginning of a sustained, structural decline for the USD.
