MARKET WATCH LIVE: THE RISE OF KING DOLLAR
6 May 2022 | 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (SGT)
What started as a small ripple is turning into a big wave of US dollar rally. This is defying those who thought sanctions would undermine the greenback’s reserve currency status and spark a shift into other currencies. The King US dollar is increasingly up across the board on concerns about stagflation in Europe and China growth as well as on policy divergence as the Fed leads the charge in tightening monetary policy to fight uncomfortably high inflation.
Does this US dollar rally have legs? Please join us for this live webinar with our experts from Bank of Singapore and guest speaker Jamie Fahy, Head of Global Macro Strategy at Citi Research, in a discussion of the currency outlook in the coming months.
