Core Viewpoint - The US dollar index experienced its most significant annual decline since 2017, with a drop of nearly 10% in 2025, and is expected to continue its weakness into 2026, with a consensus forecast predicting an additional decline of about 3% [1][2]. Group 1: Dollar Performance in 2025 - The dollar's performance in 2025 was characterized by a sharp decline and subsequent weak fluctuations, with the index dropping from a high of 109.24 to a low of 96.99, ending the year around 98, marking a cumulative decline of approximately 9.3% to 9.7%, the worst annual performance in eight years [2]. - The decline was attributed to the weakening of the "American exceptionalism" narrative that had supported the strong dollar, alongside the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts in response to economic slowdown and inflation easing [2]. Group 2: Market Sentiment for 2026 - Major financial institutions, including Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley, hold bearish views on the dollar for 2026, based on four key factors: the Federal Reserve's shift towards a more dovish monetary policy, the divergence in monetary policy among major central banks, changing global economic growth dynamics, and structural pressures from the trend of "de-dollarization" [3][4]. - The Federal Reserve is expected to continue its rate cuts, with predictions of a cumulative reduction of 50 basis points in the first half of 2026, influenced by a potential leadership change that may favor low interest rates [3]. Group 3: Economic Growth Dynamics - The market is adjusting its growth expectations for the US and non-US economies, with the IMF maintaining its 2026 growth forecast for the US, while showing optimism for recovery in Eurozone economies like Germany [4]. - The trend of "de-dollarization" is gaining momentum, as concerns over US fiscal sustainability and tariff policies are undermining the dollar's credibility as an international reserve currency, leading to increased investment in gold as a hedge against dollar risk [4]. Group 4: Potential Factors for Dollar Rebound - Despite the prevailing downtrend, several factors could trigger a temporary rebound in the dollar, including the possibility that the Federal Reserve's monetary easing may not be as aggressive as anticipated, and the resilience of the US economy could provide support for the dollar [5][6]. - The lack of a clear alternative to the dollar for global reserve and settlement functions suggests that the dollar's status as a safe-haven asset may be reaffirmed in times of geopolitical tension, potentially attracting capital back to the dollar [7].

Core Viewpoint - The trend of "abandoning the dollar and buying gold" is expected to continue into 2026, with a general expectation of a weaker dollar amidst complex market dynamics [1][4]. Group 1: Dollar Performance in 2025 - In 2025, the dollar experienced a significant decline, with the index dropping from a high of 109.24 to a low of 96.99, resulting in an annual decline of approximately 9.3% to 9.7%, marking the worst performance in eight years [2]. - The decline was attributed to the weakening of the "American exceptionalism" narrative, as the Federal Reserve initiated a rate-cutting cycle in response to economic slowdown and inflation easing, reducing the attractiveness of dollar assets [2]. Group 2: Market Sentiment for 2026 - Major institutions, including Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley, hold a bearish outlook on the dollar for 2026, based on four key factors: 1. The Federal Reserve's shift towards a more accommodative monetary policy, with expectations of further rate cuts [3]. 2. Divergence in monetary policy among major central banks, with others tightening or maintaining rates, which could narrow the interest rate differential and drive capital away from dollar assets [3]. 3. A potential shift in global economic growth dynamics, with more optimistic expectations for non-U.S. economies compared to the U.S. [4]. 4. Structural pressures from the trend of "de-dollarization," as concerns over U.S. fiscal sustainability and trade policies diminish the dollar's credibility [4]. Group 3: Potential Factors for Dollar Rebound - Despite the prevailing downtrend, several factors could trigger a temporary rebound in the dollar: 1. The Federal Reserve's monetary policy may not be as accommodative as anticipated, with persistent inflation and internal decision-making divisions adding uncertainty [5][6]. 2. The tightening of monetary policy in non-U.S. economies may face limitations due to domestic constraints, potentially affecting their currency strength [6]. 3. The U.S. economy may demonstrate unexpected resilience, supported by fiscal expansion and the growth of the AI sector, which could enhance overall productivity and attract global capital [7]. 4. The "de-dollarization" process may be slow, and the dollar's traditional role as a safe-haven asset could be reaffirmed in times of geopolitical tension [7]. Group 4: Overall Outlook for 2026 - The dollar is expected to face a tug-of-war between long-term weakening trends and potential cyclical rebounds, with key variables including central bank policies, the impact of U.S. fiscal stimulus, and global capital flows in response to geopolitical risks [8].
