Desjardins reports that the US dollar has weakened in recent weeks as US bond yields fell from roughly 4.8-5.0% to about 4.4%. The euro and pound have strengthened, and the Canadian dollar gained about 2% in November.
A weaker US dollar makes US commodity exports cheaper for foreign buyers and supports dollar-denominated grain and oilseed prices. It also shifts currency-driven competitiveness among exporters.
After 1,637 past bearish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
After 388 past bullish macro events, Euro (USD per EUR) moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (62% higher; middle half -0.4% to +1.1%), and +0.1% over 20.
