Episode notes
Fed Firehoses Could Weaken The Dollar
- Matthew: The Fed may prioritize rescuing the bond market with QE-like measures, which could weaken the dollar.
- He expects structural QE and a lower DXY as the Fed buys longer-term liquidity.
Long-Term Dollar Debasement Argument
- Francis: Long-term dollar debasement is likely given unfunded liabilities and fiscal scale.
- He expects the DXY to fall over the medium term despite short-term noise.
QE Can Temporarily Strengthen The Dollar
- Henrik: QE historically coincided with dollar strength because deflationary panic brought flight-to-dollar demand.
- He expects a strong-dollar phase before eventual longer-term decline.
