The U.S. dollar, already under pressure this year, is expected to continue weakening over the next 6-12 months. A Reuters poll of currency strategists found that most believe the current trend isn’t over.
  • The greenback has dropped about 10% year-to-date, as investors are shifting into currencies and assets like gold.
  • A large share of analysts expect the dollar’s decline to deepen — 30 of 41 surveyed foresee further downward positioning by end of October.
  • Most believe the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again in October and December, while other major central banks may have finished their easing cycles.
  • Against this backdrop:
    • The euro could strengthen 1.5–3.0% to around $1.19–$1.21
    • The Japanese yen may gain roughly 6%
    • The Australian and New Zealand dollars could rise 4–6%

🌍 Broader Factors at Play

  • U.S. fiscal deficits and concerns about the Fed’s independence are fueling investor unease.
  • Gold, which has surged more than 47% this year, is being seen as a safe haven alternative.
  • The ongoing positioning of traders already favoring a weaker dollar makes a sharp turnaround less likely.

The dollar’s struggle appears far from over. With forecasts pointing toward more Fed rate cuts, many strategists anticipate the greenback will remain under pressure through year-end.
