An HSBC FX strategist said the US dollar could surge in 2020 because it is both a safe haven and the highest-yielding G-10 currency. HSBC's base case is for a resilient dollar, with upside risk if growth falters and policymakers respond.
A stronger dollar tends to pressure US commodity prices and make US exports less competitive, which would weigh on feed grain and oilseed prices. This is a forecast opinion rather than a new event.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
