USD: De-escalation trade caps rebound – ING

Source Fxstreet

ING analysts note that the Dollar’s rebound has faded as markets price a de-escalation in US‑Iran tensions and falling Oil prices. They argue that optimism is high, limiting immediate downside for US Dollar Index (DXY) unless tensions flare again, while a clear path to a permanent ceasefire could push DXY back below 98.0 toward pre-war levels.

Optimism on ceasefire weighs on Dollar

"Failed US‑Iran talks in Islamabad over the weekend only gave the dollar very brief support. As yesterday went on, oil prices started falling again and the dollar followed. Markets seem to take the view that while the Strait of Hormuz blockade is a form of re‑escalation, it could eventually push Iran back to the negotiating table given the economic cost of lost oil exports."

"Markets remain heavily tilted toward a sanguine interpretation of events. That means plenty of good news is already in the price, which does increase the dollar’s rebound potential if tensions flare up again. But it also means that it would probably now take a more meaningful re‑escalation to stop markets from fading any initial USD bounce, like we saw yesterday."

"Some focus remains on any reactions from Beijing. An Iranian oil export blockade is particularly problematic for China and could add pressure for a quicker resolution. Clear signs that a permanent ceasefire is coming together could push DXY below 98.0, back toward pre‑war levels."

"That might sound counterintuitive as energy prices would remain comparatively higher, but other central banks have turned more hawkish than the Fed, which justifies USD weakness against other majors."
