Analysis Summary

We expect the USD to decline approximately 5% on a DXY basis in 2026, reaching 95.0 by Q4. The post-peak USD world is driven by narrowing US growth exceptionalism, expanding twin deficits, and Fed easing. Unlike Morgan Stanley, we see steady dollar weakness without an H2 recovery.
