The US dollar could decline in early 2025 due to expectations of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, driven by a continued downward trend in inflation. This would lead to a repricing of the Fed's rate cuts, causing the dollar to retreat from its current high levels.
Trump's policies, including tax cuts and increased military spending, could lead to higher fiscal deficits and stronger demand, pushing up US interest rates. This would likely elevate the dollar's exchange rate. However, prolonged high interest rates and a strong dollar could negatively impact the US economy, potentially reversing the dollar's strength in later years.
Trump's trade protectionism, including potential tariff increases on all trade partners, could strengthen the dollar in the short term. However, countries with significant trade exposure to the US, such as Canada, Mexico, Germany, and Asian economies like China, Japan, and South Korea, might see their currencies weaken due to reduced trade volumes.
Besides government changes, the US dollar could be influenced by the Federal Reserve's monetary policy expectations, economic data from other major economies like Europe, China, and Japan, and global risk appetite. These factors collectively shape the dollar's trajectory in the global currency market.
The Chinese yuan is expected to follow the path of narrowing interest rate differentials between China and the US. In early 2025, the yuan could see a rebound as the Fed continues to cut rates. However, external pressures and uncertainties may impact the yuan's performance in the latter half of the year.
A stronger-than-expected economic recovery in China could exert downward pressure on the US dollar, as increased Chinese demand would benefit other economies, particularly those with strong trade ties to China, such as Germany and other Asian countries. This could lead to a weaker dollar and stronger regional currencies.
The euro is expected to remain weak due to the European Central Bank's ongoing rate cuts and a sluggish economy, though it may see some rebound. The yen, on the other hand, could strengthen as the Bank of Japan may further tighten monetary policy, given the yen's current weak levels and Japan's relatively healthier economy.
China's growing foreign net assets, driven by low domestic financing costs, have led to increased yuan outflows and internationalization. This has given the yuan a dual role as both an investment and funding currency, making it more balanced and resilient to external shocks, similar to traditional safe-haven currencies.
