ING analyst Chris Turner stated that the Federal Reserve's September meeting minutes indicate the Fed still expects another interest rate hike this year, which continues to support the US dollar. Currently, the money market has priced in a 25 basis point rate hike in December and further policy tightening expected in 2027. ING believes that the market's expectations for rate hikes are overly aggressive, but a significant correction is unlikely in the short term. In addition, last night’s US 10-year Treasury auction performed strongly, with a high bid-to-cover ratio and robust indirect demand, indicating that as long as yields are high enough, there remains strong market demand for US Treasuries. This has provided solid support for the US dollar and has further boosted it in a somewhat challenging investment environment. Elevated US Treasury yields and increased market volatility have led to capital outflows from arbitrage trades, significantly impacting most Latin American currencies. Given the recent situation in Europe, we expect the US dollar to maintain its upward trend in the coming months.
