Goldman Sachs(US:GS) Hua Er Jie Jian Wen·2026-01-28 03:41Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the US dollar index has experienced a significant decline, dropping over 3% in the past six trading days, marking the largest six-day drop since April 2025. Goldman Sachs predicts that this depreciation is just beginning, with the dollar index potentially falling further to 92.75, a four-year low, in the coming months [1][2]. - Goldman Sachs' foreign exchange team highlights three main currencies—Yen, Renminbi, and Euro—that are moving in the direction of dollar depreciation. A key driver of this trend has been the New York Fed's inquiry into the dollar-to-yen exchange rate, signaling a stronger government involvement compared to previous years [1][2]. - The narrative of the "exceptionalism" of the US dollar is coming to an end, as various factors are aligning to prepare for the next round of declines. Reports of European pension funds reducing their exposure to US assets are increasing, contributing to the dollar index nearing a four-year low [3]. Group 2 - The US government's approach to the foreign exchange market is becoming more proactive, as indicated by the New York Fed's inquiry into the dollar-to-yen exchange rate, which reflects a heightened concern for exchange rate levels by the current administration [2]. - The weakening of the dollar is causing concerns about cross-asset correlations, which may lead investors to adjust their foreign exchange hedging ratios. Australian pension funds are currently at historical lows in their foreign exchange hedging ratios, prompting discussions about increasing these ratios [3].
