Dollar Decline: Stock Market Rally Explains 70% Of Recent US Dollar Downtrend, Says BofA
Portfolio Pulse from Neil Dennis
The US dollar index (DXY) has declined by 3.8% since early October, largely due to a rally in the equity market, as per Bank of America analysts. The S&P 500 index rose 10.5% since Oct. 27, with tech giants like Microsoft and Apple, and chip producer Intel Corporation seeing significant gains. The VIX index has dropped, indicating lower market volatility. Dollar ETFs like the Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund and Bearish Fund have moved inversely to the dollar's trend. The dollar's movement is now more tied to risk sentiment than traditional factors like economic growth or geopolitical risk, with the Fed's potential rate cut by the end of Q1 being a key factor to watch.
