FX Outlook 2014

 

Bullish in USD, Low Inflation As Downside Risk

We hold a bullish view over the US dollar for 2014, expecting it to outperform the euro and the pound, as well as to maintain the upside momentum against the Japanese yen. Fed’s announcement to begin QE tapering last December, together with relatively optimistic growth outlook of the world’s largest economy, should prove supportive for the greenback. As investors turn their focus to US economic data to gauge the Fed’s pace of tapering, strong dataflow should give further boost to the currency. Yet, the major risk to USD’s strength lies on inflation as the Fed might need to slow the pace of tapering should inflation remain low for a prolonged period.
