Nature of dollar's broad 1H slump means it can extend into 2H
Path to dollar recovery is very narrow The mainly structural nature of the 1H selloff — driven by tariff policies and the associated worsening in global geopolitical and economic expectations and US fiscal considerations — means a sustainable and broad recovery may become feasible if we see a credible softening of, or U-turn in, tariff policies. That's not our central working assumption, but any path toward a multitude of fast and balanced bilateral trade deals would help lift uncertainty, boosting global risk appetite and the dollar. Crucially, at a time when US economic exceptionalism is questioned, confirmed strength in the core data or recovering soft data is the one scenario that would revive dollar bulls in 2H, in our view, though that's not our central scenario for now. Euro appeals as yields don't drive FX for now The euro's strong 1H performance was mainly driven by dollar weakness, but it was broad based and the fiscal stimuli announced by Germany and the EU are further bullish midterm cyclical and structural considerations, though the positive economic impact may not appear in the data before late 4Q or 2026. The expected near-term divergences between the ECB — still dovish — and the Fed — wait-and-see — have led to widening euro-US two-year yield differentials that would, in normal circumstances, give euro bears fresh ammunition. Still, economic and yield factors haven't been driving FX and may be sidelined for now and for as long as structural considerations continue to be key. We hold on to our expected $1.15-$1.20 euro-dollar range into 2H, while euro bears may have options via the euro-sterling channel. Yen: Reasons to be bullish beyond BOJ The yen may be a G-10 winner in allocation strategies at a time when tariff uncertainty has reignited the de-dollarization debate and sparked questioning about US economic strength. This has to be seen in a context in which diversification strategies outside the dollar gain momentum and the yen's allure increases, thanks to a more favorable Japanese economic cycle vs. a decade ago, normalizing BOJ policy and stable institutions. The case for defensive positioning adds to our bullish yen view, and so do valuation and historically low levels. After 1H's dollar-yen decline of 11%, the pair is now sticky near 145, but the domestic (the BOJ trajectory) and international (de-dollarization) trends identified in 1H remain in place, so our 145-140 view for 2H holds for now. Sterling has a domestic, international bullish case Our sterling bull levels have already been reached and we maintain our $1.35-$1.40 sterling-dollar and 0.84-0.82 euro-sterling views into 2H. That's as long as the bullish drivers identified in 1H hold, with pound bulls primed by a better-than-expected economic performance and, just as important, a Bank of England that's resisting dovish temptations and offering yield support. The UK's management of the tariff threat, compared with the EU, gives pound bulls a further reason to shine. The G-10 FX de-dollarization narrative remains a prime bullish driver for sterling, as is the currency's regained appeal in diversification strategies. A sudden and unexpected turn in risk sentiment is the main risk for sterling bulls, given the pound's high-beta status. Franc bull? Yes, but beware the SNB A highly uncertain economic and geopolitical backdrop, and the associated de-dollarization theme, has boosted our defensive FX case this year, with the franc rising almost 10% vs. the dollar and outperforming most others in G-10 diversification strategies. Still, as we flagged on April 7, a strong franc was always going to pose a problem for the SNB, given the stage in the Swiss economic cycle and SNB President Martin Schlegel's remarks on May 6 (see below) validate this assessment, so franc bulls will have to consider the risk of a more interventionist SNB in 2H. Notwithstanding a 10% slide from its January high near 0.92, our 0.80 expected dollar-franc view holds as we consider 2H, while a 0.9250-0.9550 euro-franc range makes sense for as long as risk sentiment remains in relatively good shape. Krone appeals most in commodity FX in 2H In a broadly weaker dollar context and as tariff uncertainty persists, the Canadian dollar remains highly exposed across the G-10. Meanwhile, the Aussie remains attractive on valuation and is under-owned, but it's at the mercy of a late RBA easing cycle and China's economic fortunes. All this implies that the Norwegian krone is the most alluring among G-10 commodity currencies, even after an outstanding 1H gain of more than 11.5% vs. the dollar, given its yield appeal and likely interest in diversification strategies.
