HSBC Asset Management Sees Weaker Dollar Despite $863 Billion Firm's Strong-Growth Backdrop

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 3

Summary

  • $863 billion HSBC Asset Management said the dollar looks vulnerable to weakening after only muted gains this year, even with solid US growth and heightened geopolitical tension.
  • Joe Little, the firm's global chief strategist, said that failure to rally decisively under conditions that would normally support the greenback suggests markets may be reacting differently to economic data.
  • That pattern, combined with elevated dollar valuations, points to a possible structural downtrend once energy shocks and geopolitical risks begin to fade.
