Key Quotes
“We expect headline inflation to accelerate to 1.2% y/y from 0.7% y/y but the dominant impact of base effects for this series is probably already well understood by the market and our forecast is below expectations, which implies we do not expect a significant boost to the USD.
More broadly, we believe the USD will struggle to have a sustained recovery against the G10 funders as markets remain reluctant to rebuild Fed tightening expectations, with hawkish remarks from San Francisco Fed President Williams failing to make an impression on Thursday.
Moreover we expect more ups and downs for the risk environment which implies that current account surplus currencies should be well-supported at the expense of deficit currencies.”
