# MUFG Exchange Rate Forecast Update: USD Strength to Endure for Longer, Forcing Others into Retreat

> MUFG expects the US dollar to remain dominant into 2019 as other currencies lose momentum, citing strong US growth and slowing growth elsewhere. The dollar rose just over 2% in October and is up 4.6% for 2018, while the pound and euro are down year to date against the dollar.

## Why it matters

A persistently strong dollar tends to pressure dollar-priced commodities and can make US grain and oilseed exports less competitive, while supporting import affordability for buyers in weaker-currency markets.
